It's showtime,Detective Archives a-holes.

I say without hyperbole: #GotGVol2 is MCU at its very best. Grand adventure with intimate stakes. Uses every damn color in the crayon box. 🌈

But I wasn't the only one. Here's Erik Davis of Fandango:
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 is exciting, funny, gorgeous & a helluva tearjerker. For many, it will become their new favorite Marvel movie pic.twitter.com/Po4ZOSPs8Q

And Peter Sciretta of Slashfilm:
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is funnier than the original, a ton of surprises, and an unexpected emotional profoundness. I am Groot.

Indiewire's Kate Erbland was also a fan:
I doubt I'll see a more fun blockbuster this summer than GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, VOL. 2. Yes, looking at you, FATE OF THE FURIOUS.

As was Uproxx's Mike Ryan:
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL 2. is very fun. Takes the EMPIRE "split up your characters" strategy. Drax is a hoot. Baby Groot steals the show

Not everyone was so enthusiastic, though. Charles Bramesco didn't think it held up a candle to the first:
You know that thing where you hear a perfect pop song and then you go back the next time and the chorus still kills but it's lost that glow?

In any case, fair warning: you'll want to time your bathroom breaks carefully to account for the fact that there are not one, not two, but fivecredits scenes in Vol. 2. As Village Voice's Bilge Ebiri (half) joked:
I once joked that there'd one day be a Marvel movie that was JUST post-credits sequences. It appears we are one step closer to that reality.

(Don't worry, the credits scenes are mostly pretty short.)
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2is in theaters May 5.
