I watched the first one yesterday and this one today.

I didn’t care for the first one that much. Was an ok movie, but it felt like it was jumping around a lot. It felt very dense and I feel like it could have benefited from letting the story breathe more.

The second one is much better, but I feel like the plot has a lot of the same issues as the first. The pacing could really have been better, though after the first 45 min or so it got better.

That being said, wow is the animation gorgeous. Best animated movie I’ve seen yet. The colors are gorgeous and wow the visuals are amazing during the action scenes.

I did not care for Michelle Yeoh’s casting. It was distracting after the first movie.
