Ranking April 2017's Movies From Worst To Best

5. Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 new team
Marvel Studios

RottenTomatoes Score: 87% (7.1/10)

Box Office: The true success of Marvel Studios' latest won't be made totally clear until it hits U.S. cinemas on May 5th, but it's off to a stellar international start, and will likely make at least $850 million worldwide before it's all said and done, with the potential to even join the billion-dollar club.

Verdict: Though lacking the freshness of the first film, James Gunn's long-awaited sequel delivers the gorgeous visuals, insane action and hilarious team banter fans expect.

Kurt Russell makes damn good on his addition to the line-up with a thoroughly charismatic performance, even if Dave Bautista's Drax once again steals almost every scene with his hilariously off-kilter one-liners.

You'd need to really hate Marvel to dislike it. Just don't go in expecting an improvement on the original.
