Because I'm a massive scrooge I only ever go to the cinema on Tuesdays or Wednesdays with a Meerkat code.

Making an exception for this however, tickets booked for Friday 21:00
 
Booked Saturday morning 09:30 early bird in 4dx. Hopefully not be full of 'Marvel' fans and the stereotypical smell that accompanies them.
 
Enjoyed it. Once again the character development and arcs took priority. Main quibbles were the Rocket and Drax humour tending to fall a bit flat and some of the other jokes feeling a bit forced or rehashed based off what worked first time round, but if you liked the first one based off the writing and connection with the characters rather than exposition or all-out-action then you'll like this. Loads of Easter Eggs in this one and about six post-credits scenes.

Brilliant! Saw it at the IMAX last night. Best 3D i've seen in a film.

A smidgen less good as the first, but still brilliant, funny and action packed. I think the first one edges it slightly as it was such a surprise.

The opening scene is just quality and the story was funny and emotional. I do agree with the above post about some of the more forced humour this time, but it didn't happen often at all.

8.5 or 9/10 for the characters, fun, action and IMAX experience.
 
Not great at all. Very disappointing, even for someone who just liked, as opposed to loved, the first film.
Even as a comic adventure, it's hard to look past it's overly stupid moments, and bar one or two exceptions the majority of the jokes are stretched way to thin or fall flat.
Certainly think it's one that kids will love, but personally found it tedious and tiresome with the relentless CGI ending up just a dressing for a story lacking in substance and content. Had heard of the multiple mid credits beforehand, but could only be bothered to stay for a couple or so which kind of says it all.
The saturation point of Marvel Studios' output doesn't help in many ways, whereby the first one worked as a one off surprise, the depreciating quality of the films in general just works against this particular effort.
Not trying to put people off, as I'm sure there was plenty of satisfied customers the other night, but just cannot get past the blandness of this one.
 
Enjoyed it, didn't seem to have as many action set pieces as the first but came out happy, the ending did hit home and the 5! after credit scenes aren't really worth hanging around for.

Felt exactly the same. I thought the first was over rated but took my son today as he's nuts about Marvel, the story was woeful, the film was carried by a cute twig. It doesn't even have a sound track as good to carry it, as the first did. A rocket and Groot film and cut the poor performances of the rest would have made a better film. My son enjoyed it so that's the main thing.
 
I enjoyed it, weirdly about the same as the first one. Love all the cameos though, I was like....no way!

Silly story, plot holes and some lame jokes but time did fly by really quick.
