Say hello to the finest opening scene of the decade. Actually, this is not only the best opening scene of the 2010s, but it's one of the best opening scenes to any movie EVER.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is an underappreciated sequel and an awesome, four-star film (albeit not without a few flaws here and there) but this opening, in which Baby Groot dances to Electric Light Orchestra's Mr Blue Sky while the fellow Guardians of the Galaxy fight an inter-dimensional beast in the background, is cinematic gold.

It's just one of the most entertaining, hilarious action sequences you'll ever see and there's no way it won't leave you with a glowing, ear-to-ear grin. Also, it's impossible not to love Baby Groot.

Writer-director James Gunn wanted to create one of the greatest opening scenes of all time... and he succeeded.
