User Reviews

Funny and Hilarious!!!!

Guardians of Galaxy Vol. 2 is a Superhero movie directed by James Gunn.

If the first part of the movie was funny this is even more funnier and in my opinion I liked this movie more impressive and comic then the first part.

Acting is good and new characters has been added in the movie. Direction is good, screenplay is gripping. The VFX is been great and this movie looks more grand then it's previous part.

A nice cocktail of humour, action, comedy with great visuals. Throughout entertaining.
