I don't usually like the blockbuster/action/comic book movies, but I have enjoyed several films of this category in recent years. Guardians of the Galaxy is really fun and even though the story line is thin and characters could be better with more depth, I still think it's a great escape film. Humor is abundant and the action sequences aren't too over the top. And I love the family of misfits concept, too.

The second of the series is just as good as the first, with even more hilarious lines and moments. More is learned (but not much more) about the main character's background, the family of misfits become closer and larger, and it's evident that more films are to come.
