This movie is a very funny and light movie as the first one was. I actually think this movie is better than the first. In the first film I had some confusion in my head about who people were and what different situations were. In this second "Guardians of the Galaxy" movie everything seems very logically plotted.
'Family' appears to be the central theme of this film. Peter Quill, played by Chris Pratt, is having daddy issues and Gamora is having sister issues. And the conclusion by the end of the film seems to be that no matter how bad your relationship is with your sibling, family wins out. Well, perhaps Peter Quill is the exception. But even in that case there is a silver lining.
And as with the first movie the soundtrack is dominant. So dominant that the title of the movie is 'Vol. 2.' In this film you will learn what the greatest song in the universe is as song by the greatest group in the universe. I actually have this record in my collection, so I must have excellent taste.
I had thought I'd heard that Stan Lee has ceased to make cameos, but he once again pops up not once but twice in this film.
There is an evil queen in this movie named Ayesha, who has a comic book history that connects her to Adam Warlock. And there were rumors that this film would be Adam Warlock's debut. However, by the end of the film all you get is merely a whisper.
This is a very enjoyable movie and no one will be disappointed.

Anyone who wants an Infinity War prequel will be very disappointed. 
I saw the movie last night and have listened to Mr. Blue Sky 4 times since. Mr. Gunn is mocking us. He knows everyone is there just to see Baby Groot be adorable, so he gets that out of the way in the first full scene. In the blurred out background is a fight scene that would be satisfying final conflict - ignore that, Groot is being cute.
I thought Stallone nailed his role. Marvel Presents #3 should go up in price. Charlie-27 was on screen, don't think he had any lines. What's his MCU backstory? He can't be from Jupiter...
Props to Kurt's make-up guy who did some computer-less de-aging for the flashback scene. They've been working together since Tango & Cash.
The top two Stan Lee/MCU theories are still in play. I suspect that will be resolved and the scenes are already in the can.
People had been complaining that the trailers gave away spoilers. Nope. Just the setup, from there it gets interesting.
It was a pretty great sequel.

And that was Martinex T'Naga from Pluto standing next to Charlie-27, who along with Charlie-27, was an original member of the Guardians in the comic book.

Yep.
Martinex had a weird voice. Guess being crystalline does that to a person.
Pretty close to the line up on the cover of Marvel Presents #3. It sure felt like we might see them in a future movie.
In the closing credits, random text changes to "I am Groot". Pretty funny.
