Warner Bros. allowed Phillips to continue his vision without any input from Gunn. The film did not have any test screenings and has received a low rating of 35% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the lowest-rated comic book movie sequels by critics and fans. The production has been described as a debacle and a misfire.
