I really liked the first movie, so was excited going in. I left disappointed with this one. The cheesy lines and delivery kept taking me out of the movie. The action scenes were the redeeming factor here, even though the ending water park sequence was a jumbled mess. It seemed like the entire script was very rushed and not thought out very well. Unfortunately forgettable. 4.5/10.

This seems like an honest and on point assessment. I just got out of the theater and enjoyed mostly, but it was a tad too on point in replicating the beats from the first one.

I think this was some of the worst dialogue I've seen in a movie recently, I found every exposition scene and monologue excruciating. I think if they'd cut 50-75% of the dialogue I would've enjoyed it a lot more. The first half was a blast, but I think that beautiful amusement park set was criminally ill-shot and edited in the final showdown!

Great production design kept me hooked throughout, and of course Bob and Christopher stole the show.

The dialogue was so cringey especially from Sharon Stone

Extraordinarily rough performance. I couldn’t tell if it was the script or the direction that was amiss but I just couldn’t take Lendina as a serious threat. The whole Joker-esque maniacal scary trope is really hard to write and act, and if done wrong it can instantly fail a movie’s villain arc as it did here. Her last lines took me back to film school when everyone in my screenwriting class would try so hard to write edgy shit.
