Visually, it was spectacular and justifiably so. But look at it this way: Guardians 1 was good and entertaining because it was a chaotic spectacle with quirky characters and an endearing chemistry between the characters. The outcasts getting together for a rout is something we've seen so many times. Under the confines of various galaxies? No, and that added to the aura.
Guardians 2 is as typical a story as Hollywood can dish out, with the turns, reversals, and twists part of Hollywood narrative since the late 70s. It was frankly a mockery. And visuals can only take you so far.
