To this day, Guardians of the Galaxy is still my favorite Marvel movie. Out of each of the films the studio has released so far, James Gunn’s surprise hit of 2014 was the film that blended together Marvel’s signature heart, humor, and action into a cocktail that made for perfect viewing. Needless to say, I had high hopes going into Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 last night. Unfortunately, I don’t believe Marvel or James Gunn managed to match the highs of their first cosmic outing.
