Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2

Actors: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, Chris Sullivan, Sean Gunn, Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell
Rating: 9 out of 10, Every bit as good as I hoped. I loved the original and it’s always supremely difficult to follow up a surprise hit with a sequel that does the original justice. All of the cast is back and the director wisely went with additional comedic input from both Drax and Rocket. Pratt as Quill takes an almost rear seat as back stories become more important. Every time I felt it was veering a little too much in a certain direction I was expertly swung in a new one, usually in a very colorful manner. The story was new and kept the action floating through a serious body count. There might have been a little too much Baby Groot but he was kind of cute so hard to argue that. It’s a big, sprawling, very funny, and just plain awesome adventure.

MVP: Zoe Saldana as Gamora continues to dominate, even in green skin
