I saw it last night and I was surprised. It wasn't necessarily any better or worse than I thought it'd be, just different. The story and the tone was more somber than I thought it would've been. The characters were more fleshed out and I especially loved Rooker as Yondu and Pratt as Starlord. Baby Groot, however, kind of irritated me. When he was just being innocent and cute, he was awesome. When they had him screaming and attacking like a mad toddler, though, it was just cringe-worthy. Russell as Ego was also a welcome surprise, especially the way they used his character more than I thought they would.
The action was good as well and that opening (apparent) oner as the credits flashed was really cool and funny. My only true complaint with the movie is that some of the big, emotional, climactic scenes were ruined by humor. I love humor in almost every case and any movie, but when certain moments became intense I wanted to see that emotion take its course. The jokes ruined a few moments for me.
All in all, I liked it more than the first. To be fair, though, I wasn't exactly high on the first one to begin with, but Vol. 2 is good fun. I would be very surprised if there was a movie this summer that beats this one for pure joy and entertainment. Overall, I recommend it. I'd probably give it a 7.7-8/10.
