USA Today
Just like the first one, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a winning and wonderfully relatable gem of crazy. - 80
Empire
Even when the pixels threaten to overwhelm, Gunn finds refuge in his main characters. There’s plenty to enjoy here. - 80
The Telegraph
That sense of gooey euphoria runs through everything that’s good in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. - 80
Total Film
The Guardians get a welcome return to the big screen, which despite many positives, fails to match the dizzying heights of the original. - 75
TheWrap
There is wit and there are explosions, and while none of them represent a step above “Guardians of the Galaxy,” neither do they impugn the memory of one of the freshest and most fun of the Marvel movies. - 70
Variety
Shot for shot, line and line, it’s an extravagant and witty follow-up, made with the same friendly virtuosic dazzle. Yet this time you can sense just how hard the series’ wizard of a director, James Gunn (now taking off from a script he wrote solo), is working to entertain you. Maybe a little too hard. - 67

Much of the material gets rehashed with slight variations...and many of the space battles have a redundant quality. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
It’s smarter than most films, but not as smart as the first one. It’s funnier than most films, but not as funny as the first one. And it still probably belongs in the upper tier of Marvel movies but nowhere near as high up as the first one.
