The 8 Best Moments In Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has been a hit with critics and audiences alike so far and after a strong overseas opening, the signs are all pointing to this being one of Marvel's biggest movies to date, as it looks ready to take North American theatres by storm this weekend. $1 billion seems like a guarantee at this point and with Vol. 3 already confirmed, it sounds like the franchise will be around for a long time to come. Before we start looking ahead to the future, though, we've decided to delve into what exactly it is that makes Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 so special.

5) Baby Groot’s Opening Number

Guardians of the Galaxy wrapped up with Baby Groot dancing to a catchy tune from The Jackson 5, but the sequel kicks off with an extended sequence which sees the adorable sentient tree having a boogie to ELO’s “Mr. Blue Sky.” The scene is made all the more enjoyable by the fact that the opening credits play over it and the action still takes place in the background with the Guardians battling the massive Abilisk.

As Baby Groot dances around the space station, that monster throws the team from one end to the other while they simultaneously try to take it down and stop their childish teammate from coming to any harm. Of course, one of the best moments comes when we get a nod to that original Baby Groot mid-credits scene, when he freezes mid-dance because Drax (who clearly hates dancing) gives him the evil eye.
