Loved this movie, as I did with the previous 3. Funny, heartfelt, little cheeky, and did I say funny. The little wink to Forrest Gump made me laugh. As did the creepy as dummie dolls every time they were on screen, and duke kaboom. Was surprised it was Keanu Reeves. Being in my 50s now I am still not ashamed to say I had some tears. The toy story series, (I count them all as one) is and always be in my top 10 favourite movies, ever.

I see that some mean spirited reviewers saying worst movie 2018/ever. Geez you guys need to lighten up. Not an Oscar contender for sure, but after reading reviews on IMDb I was expecting the worst movie ever, and I had to make myself watch it. I mean how bad can it be, I think to myself. I was in the mood for a laugh and some action. This movie surprisingly delivered both for me. Sure a very small number of jokes fell flat, but not many. It took me a little while to recognise Sam Heughan, (Jamie from Outlander, bestill my beating heart). Great action scenes. Justin Theroux, he's always a cool dude, the two girls, funny, the assassin chick, funny, the secret agent partner, funny, even Gillian Anderson made me laugh. Long story short, just a fun action comedy, that doesn't require deep thought or the need to overanalyse. There were much worse movies released last year like, Fifty Shades Grey, Mama Mia - here we go again, or a very unpleasant tale called Caniba, (Japanese I think). So don't be put off be the unwarranted 'worst movie......' Like I almost was.

What a cool movie!! I'm a huge fan of all things Marvel. Especially the more lighthearted installments, and Guadians 2 is as lighthearted as it gets. I laughed, was enthralled with the action, then laughed some more.

The same lovable characters with the banter/bickering and one liners. I found Drax to be especially funny. Some sweet tender moments, followed by a good belly laugh. Oh, and baby Groot. I want a baby Groot of my own.

Not everyone is into this Marvel roller-coaster ride of course, but to all fans like me, I highly recommend this movie.

p.s I am certainly excited to see the new Thor movie, by NZ director Taika Waititi.
