As soon as the first one was over, when I saw it opening night back in August 2014, my initial reaction was "ok, I cannot wait for the sequel because I loved these characters and can't wait to see them again. But at the same time, I don't expect them to top this one because this was pretty damn good" and it's still my second-favorite Marvel movie
And especially after AoU miiiildly disappointed, my adjusted my expectations for Vol 2 accordingly, since most Marvel sequels (Iron man 2, Thor 2, AoU) are inferior to their first installments, I always knew it would be tricky to make a Guardians sequel that was better or even AS GOOD as the first, so these reactions/reviews aren't all that surprising, I will admit I did get really excited when I heard it scored a perfect 100% with test audiences, but that basically just tells me this is a movie for the masses, not the critics, but it being Marvel I'm still sure majority of critics will recommend it, because it does look fun, just follows the typical Marvel Formula which no one should be surprised about
