Anybody else catch GG2? I was a huge fan of the first one, so I was pretty excited to see this one too. I thought the soundtrack was great once again, and the movie itself nearly as good as the first one. The plot I thought was a little less taut than the original... took a long time to get going, and felt like it needed a little bit more on the end, but I suppose that's just my perception. I also enjoyed the camaraderie and in-jokey humor, but it got a little self-aware and self-referential at times--but only a little. Nothing too bad, and a lot of the humor (especially Drax) was extremely effective; that's to say, hilarious. The animation on Rocket always blows me away: if somebody saw this movie twenty years ago, they would probably come to the conclusion that raccoons can actually talk and shoot stuff, it's that realistic down to the drifting of individual hairs, twitching of ears, etc.
Any other Guardians fans out there?
