20 Opening Movie Scenes That Are Totally Flawless
14. Mr. Blue Sky - Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
Taking the prize for Most Wholesome Movie Opening Ever, James Gunn's spotlessly entertaining Guardians of the Galaxy sequel kicks off with a credit sequence for the ages, designed, it seems, to make as many people smile as humanly possible.
Whilst the rest of the Guardians risk their lives on their latest death-defying mission, Baby Groot sets up some giant speakers and starts dancing to Electric Light Orchestra's "Mr. Blue Sky" in particularly joyful fashion.
Placing the action in the background, almost the entire scene is composed of Groot, dancing without care whilst somehow dodging all the carnage around him and ignoring his embattled friends' worried advice to take cover.
Making sure the film starts as it means to go on - loose and fun, but also heavy with the action and focussed on the relationships between the team - Guardians Vol. 2 is one of the best MCU flicks on offer, and manages to maintain the quality of its opening scene throughout its two-hour run.
