We all liked it. The forced humor was a bit much, but the first interaction with Quill and Drax was gold. I really dug the soundtrack but i'm old and knew all the songs. Hated Stallone as Starhawk. Furthest away from that character as you can get. Overall a really fun movie that everybody should enjoy.

Yeah I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to...
The Ego planet storyline dragged on longer than it should've, considering there was some minor plots that had the potential be more interesting.
Quill was just broody & cranky throughout the sequel. No one likes their hero to act like a brat.
And how many times did they have to milk all the jokes from the 1st?
Yeah it was funny in the first movie when Quill relates the story about thinking Yondo was going to eat him as a child.
Then he re-tells it again to Ego in the 2nd movie despite the fact that he's a grown man now & should realise it was a joke.
And then he's still dwelling on it at the end when he confronts & bonds with Yondo.

I rewatched this and enjoyed it more the 2nd time. The dialogue struck me as more humorous the 2nd time. My new favorite line from the film:
Spoiler:😂
Rocket: You guys have issues. Quill: Of course I have issues, that's my father! (and it shows his father in his bizarre eternal transformation form..
There are still some clunkier moments to the film, like Baby Groot trying to find Yondu's prototype fin. That was a joke that got a little old. And I was still a little confused as to why Drax was such a jolly fellow this time around, but overall the film is amazing and I think it's safe to say it will age well and perhaps even get better and better with more viewings. I would urge anyone who was initially disappointed by it (as I sort of was) to watch again and I think it will grow on you.
Although does anyone understand why Quill didn't have his fancy Star Lord face mask at the end to save Yondu? (He used it in space in the first film.)
