Before the first movie came out, nobody knew about the guardians of galaxy. But then the first movie came out and we had a new breed of heroes. The story was good, the characters better. Thefirst movie was a phenomenon no doubt. Hence, the second instalment had lot riding on it. Unlike the first movie, people had expectations from the movie. And it does live upto the expectations, in fact, clearly took it one step further. This movie deals more with the backstories of every character and all the stories are well put together. It provides an emotional touch with the starlord meeting his father, the guardians almost falling apart, rocket facing issues. But then as crisis comes up they unite and fight together and end up saving the universe again. The baby groot is spectacular, adds the cute factor in between all the action. All in all it is a great movie and worth watching with a few surprises in the climax. In mu opinion it is better than the first and that is rear, for sequels to be better.
