Just saw it, really enjoyed it. Might have been a TAD overhyped but whatever (: I really liked every one of the Guardians. Drax was my least favorite but even he had some great moments. Groot was the best. Reminded me a lot of Hodor actually (:
Not sure if I'd say this was my favorite Marvel movie but it's definitely up there with Iron Man 1 and 3. Nothing else besides those three really comes close
Assuming they do merge with the Avengers universe at some point (which I'm guessing they will once Thanos comes into play) I'd love to see this crew interact with those characters. Especially Peter and Tony Stark
anyway I saw this earlier today and liked it. Agree that the first was a bit better, but I think this definitely held its own. Still very much had the sense of fun that the first had, I'd put it up there with IM/IM3/GOTG as one of the better Marvel movies

loved everything with Baby Groot, especially the scene where he tries to get the fin. I liked the teenager Groot bit they threw in at the end too, I hope they keep him like that for another movie
Really it didn't feel like any character was wasted. Surprisingly Yondu became a really good character here, despite me not caring for him much in the first one. I liked Mantis as a new character too
out of all the news from yesterday, this might be my favorite. Live-action HOLIDAY SPECIAL coming out the year before GOTG3. This is such a perfect franchise to do it with
