Reviews & comments
A bright and brilliant ball of light and sound that makes for ideal 3D family film fun.

pressBar a few last-act wobbles and the odd tonal shift, Gunn has done it again, crafting a sequel that keeps the focus on the characters we fell for first time around while pumping up the volume.
