I loved this movie. The first Guardians is one of my favorite films of all time, and Vol. 2 was a really good follow-up to such a perfect film. I really appreciated that we got more development for every character, because they all mean so much to me. It just had so much heart, and that's what I loved so much about the first one.
I accidentally found out about Yondu's death before I saw it, but that surprisingly didn't detract from the experience at all. I somehow convinced myself during the whole movie that he was going to make it out somehow, even up until the very end...but then he didn't and I got really emotional. Yondu was one of my favorites and to watch those final moments between him and Peter was heartbreaking. Yondu Udonta, you will be greatly missed my friend. :cry
I really enjoyed the whole Ego storyline as well. Kurt Russell killed it in that role. I cracked up at the scene where he plays catch with Peter...it was so cheesy and overly perfect.
Also, the visuals and the music were amazing! I saw it in IMAX 3D (we got free posters too, which was a nice surprise) on Thursday night and I couldn't believe how much color each shot had, and how beautiful everything was! I loved so much about this movie! Can't wait to see it again next week.
Also, it's just a little thing but I was so sad to see Peter's mask destroyed at the end...that thing is my absolute favorite. I hope he gets a new one in Infinity War...
