Guardians of the Galaxy 2 once had a high rating of 87% positive on Rotten Tomatoes, but now that the movie is out–the rating has steadily decreased.
In its first official day of opening, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 now stands at 81% positive at Rotten Tomatoes with 201 positive reviews to 46 negative.
The first Guardians of the Galaxy finished at 91% positive.
In addition, it was once being said Guardians of the Galaxy 2 would open to $150 million plus, but now some estimates are downplaying the box office draw and stating somewhere between $120-130 million (still a very good number).
Update: Friday’s numbers are in: Guardians of the Galaxy 2 brought in $56.3 million, with the movie now estimated somewhere around a $140 million weekend opening.
I liked the movie, but after seeing the first one, I wasn’t expecting The Dark Knight.
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 pretty much met my expectations, and the villain was pretty stellar–and a lot better than villains in other Marvel movies. As I previously stated, I wasn’t big on Drax, which is a similar compaint I’m seeing online.
I think the first Guardians of the Galaxy “wowed” people so much that it was just too hard to repeat.
