As we quickly reach the end of our journey to Infinity War, Guardians 2 comes as an interesting Marvel adventure.
Vol. 2 isn’t really connected to Infinity War, and it does little to directly set up next week’s epic release.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, if nothing else, is true eye-candy if there ever were such a thing.
For now, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 feels like an all-inclusive party that doesn’t really rely on fans having seen any of the other movies in the MCU beyond perhaps that first Guardians installment.
