It's good. Not as surprising as the first one. Gunn used a lot of the same tricks as he did in the first one but this time he has more money. A lot of the shots seemed like panels straight out of a comic book. Gunn is very fond of the slo-mo walking shot.
And even if the Star Lord is the titular hero for this piece, he seems to be sort of missing from the movie. It's all about the adventures of the other characters. Lots of heavy handed philosophy about family relationships. Since I am dead inside this kind of missed the mark for me.
I did see it in 3-D IMAX, so that was fun. Some of the shots look decidedly weird in this format. Do you know the effect that makes everything look like a miniature town although it's full sized? Well, that seemed to be the effect in a couple of shots.
But it was fun. Stay for the five credit sequences. And the credits were particularly fun as well. Watch them and you will see why.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
