Saw it yesterday. Really liked it a lot!

Spoiler:
I was really surprised to see Yondu die. That sucks. He was one of my favorites.

I think I may know who is in that birthing chamber at the end during the credits. She called him Adam and I think it was a reference to Adam Warlock....

Also, there is ONE music choice that I think should have been changed. When Yondu and Rocket are escaping the ship after the mutiny and going on their killing spree of the crew, the song should have been "It's Raining Men" by the Weather Girls. Those who recall that scene will know why!

James Gunn certainly had a difficult task of creating a sequel to such a totally unique and really awesome superhero film, but he certainly did a great job. I thought the characters were just as delightfully sarcastic as usual and the 80's pop culture references still made laugh. Baby Groot was just adorable.

Spoiler:
Yondu really made one of the most noble sacrifices I've ever seen in a recent film. Next time Peter should listen to Gamora if something doesn't feel right about a planet that seems so perfect and peaceful.

The first one has become one of my favorite movies and I loved this one as well.
Drax and Groot were hilarious, but
Spoiler:
I'm glad he has grown up. Although I'm not sure if I want to see a teenage Groot for an entire movie.

It is kind of fun to know that, while you're watching Agents of SHIELD, or Luke Cage, or Thor, simultaneously somewhere out there in the MCU's galaxy, Sylvester Stallone is fighting aliens and blowing them away. I actually like that a lot.

Let me know if you agree about the music choice during the Yondu/Rocket ship fight.... I still contend that "Its Raining Men" would have been more apropos!

For a film that was already very 'in your face' in style, I think "It's Raining Men" would have been crossing the line.

If you're talking about that scene from the trailer, I'm gonna agree with ya already.

Probably true but would have been so funny!

Personally my favorite part of the movie was Rocket's defenses around the ship while he was working on it after Peter and Gamora left. I LOVED that!

Saw it, loved it.

My only complaint is that it slowed down too much in the middle once they were all on Ego's "planet".

So are we gonna be getting moody teenage Groot in Infinity War? I hope not, doesn't seem like he'd be much use against Thanos.

Just got back from watching it in 3D. Great movie. Lots of good character moments for all. The humor was spot on. A bittersweet ending that felt right.
I especially liked how they did Mantis, she turned out really well. Kurt Russel gave an amazing performance, really glad he played the part he did.

Spoiler:
The cameo appearances from Howard and the Watchers were very much appreciated. I'm also interested in how they'll pull off Adam Warlock.

I was blown away by just how awesome it was. I was bracing myself for a less-than-stellar sequel, but this did not disappoint. I did like the music more in the first one though, but oh well.

Yeah, me too. I think he might be Uatu. I mean, it makes sense. It's certainly one of the few fan theories out there that are plausible.

Stan Lee isn't Uatu or even a Watcher. He's listed as Watcher Informant in the credits.
