From the opening strains of Electric Light Orchestra’s “Mr. 2” bind the film together just as successfully as in Vol. The song choices from Peter’s “Awesome Mix Vol. I would be loathe not to mention the movie’s soundtrack. Peter’s quest for his father ends in surprising places, unpredictably and with unexpected turns of events. Yondu’s history and Rocket’s turn out to be almost mirror images of each other, though at different points in life. Nebula’s hatred for Gamora has unexpected and yet wholly logical roots in the context of siblings raised under horrible circumstances. In Ultron it was exciting to find that Hawkeye has a family, for example, and that characters who begin as villains can be transformed before our eyes into heroes. In both cases a superior story was punctuated by more character details we the audience wanted to know.

While I will not run short of praise for this movie - it’s just that good really - it did have the feeling of being a “middle film,” a bridge between the beginning of a story and it’s eventual climax.

2, adds yet another achievement to this series of films that already includes Iron Man, the Mighty Thor, Captain America, Doctor Strange, and a host of supporting heroes - and villains - in it’s ever expanding roster. The latest entry in the MCU, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. And then there’s Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, an ongoing series of films that have not failed to be excellent in nearly every way - even when I didn’t think they possibly could be. There are venerable film series that have been trundling along for decades with various degrees of success like James Bond.
