As a person who knows quite a few about film from a professional POV, I have personally never cared about RT because I think RT scores are just senseless and have zero credibility in a credible talk about film criticism or artistic acclaim. This is one opinion Martin Scorsese made about RT that I agree with at 300% unlike some of his comic book rants.
Now that been said, I hope SS 2 keeps that high RT score and becomes the highest rated comic film of all time since that will mean many people who once tired to claim black panther was the best comic film of all time and always use RT to defend some comic films that honestly would seen as laughable if you were to put that on a film course criteria, would now have to automatically accept that SS2 is now the best comic film of all time just based alone on the RT of SS 2.

All the time I was watching it I was thinking "was it really that hard to just make a decent, fun film last time?" That last film was absolutely schizophrenic - this one knows exactly what it is.
Also, really glad James Gunn over whatever the hell funk he was in when he wrote Guardians Of The galaxy vol 2, as it turns out he can pace a story just fine when he tries.
James Gunn should direct all DC movies now, this was fantastic. Still happy to see a director cut of the 2016 movie but I honestly think the two can coexist just fine. Like First Avenger and Winter Soldier, both of which I enjoyed for different reasons (though this one much more). I especially like the fact that Gunn doesn’t let Quinn steal the show but her role is still well done, definitely her best so far.

Got to see it early and I absolutely loved it. Favorite DC Films I've seen In a long time. Might be my favorite after TDK period. Too early to say though.
I will say I kinda wish less people died. Won't get into specifics but there were two deaths that got to me and one of them happens early in the movie. Was a bit bummed out but I guess that was the point. Anyway great flick and I hope Gunn does a trilogy. I Don't think he should do all DC Films though. His tone is perfect for Suicide Squad. Not so much the mainstream heroes. But a couple more SS Films for sure. Maybe even a Booster Gold flick one day.

Yeah I was super bumbed that they killed off both Boomerang and Rick too, though I thought the latter for both shock value - I figured he was the only other 'safe' character aside from Harley - and the idea he might be alive snatched away as quickly... but still when deaths happened they felt like none cheapened the characters too much. The bit at the end with the 'survivor' was hilarious. Definitely interested to see Gunn do a sequel and also Peacemaker.
Tomorrow night at midnight cant get here soon enough. I am gonna watch it very early Friday morning then go see it in theaters late Friday evening.
