And that's considering that I really enjoyed the first one. But this one just didn't work me - the jokes were desperate and the plot was thin. Not sure why the movie had to be so short - it felt half-baked, like there is a lot more material missing from it, and Luke Wilson and Thomas Middleditch were underused. Not sure what the point to including their characters was in the first place the way it was done.
It's just a cash grab of course.
shareI am just really surprised at such a high user rating on Rotten Tomatoes - that was the main reason I wanted to see it. When I was already at the theater, though, I felt like anything else I was interested in seeing (Parasite, JoJo Rabbit, The Lighthouse) would have been a much better choice.
I don't like coming out of the theater feeling that I totally wasted my time.
Indeed. A lot of movies these days feel churned out by some cynical director who needs a hit and aims at the lowest common denominator. Everything looks like like an honest effort but it's a cheap imitation of a real film.
shareYes. It will be awhile before the studios get inline with having writer that write for minorities. Most movies for now will be heavy for white audience. The theaters have to have movies coming out to stay open and pay the employees.
shareParts were great, many parts meh, and some stunk. Still, it was fairly entertaining, and I did not go into it expecting anything close to the original, which was outstanding.
shareI like the movie although some of the episodes are too contrived. That scene you mention reminded me of the Bizarro Jerry episode of Seinfeld.
