What Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Is About
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) is a action and comedy film produced for Movies that premiered on May 5, 2017.
It stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista and Kurt Russell.
What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 136 minutes and it leans into its action/comedy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the film leans on Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Kurt Russell, Michael Rooker and James Gunn lead the cast.
Key roles include Chris Pratt as Peter Quill / Star-Lord; Zoe Saldana as Gamora; Dave Bautista as Drax; Kurt Russell as Ego; Michael Rooker as Yondu.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, comedy and sci-fi have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Movies’s other originals, a 7.6/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2017 and carried by Movies, it lands hardest with action and comedy viewers.
How Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Compares
If Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/comedy lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

The Bottom Line
