While it boasts impressive eye candy and still one of the most entertaining packs of heroes in movies today, the film strands its characters in a paper-thin story that feels more like a collection of subplots stretched to over two hours. It relies heavily on all that audiences loved from the first film and repeats it rather than taking it somewhere new. Still, it’s an entertaining and breezy time at the movies but don’t expect it to the raise the bar on anything. Status quo is the order of the day. Baby Groot is quite adorable though. Grade: C
