9. Improved Visuals

The first Guardians of the Galaxy had an incredibly great look to it. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, however, is utterly stunning in regards to its visuals.

Despite that the budget for this film was more or less the same as the last, Marvel Studios really got more bang for their buck in the effects department this time around. The practical aspects of Vol. 2's design looked absolutely wonderful and lovingly crafted. Meanwhile, the CGI that was used meshed seamlessly with everything around it, creating the perfect amount of immersion for the audience.

Moreover, this film had a lot more creativity put into it when it came to both special effects and the designs of the various characters and alien races, not to mention some drastically improved action sequences. This, in turn, made the galaxy feel truly vibrant and alive.

Not as many locations were visited in this film as there were in the last, but this is more than made up for by the sheer amount of depth that went into creating everything on the screen.

The visuals in the first movie were great, but Marvel really pulled out all the stops this time around.
