    Nothing great. Alex Wolff is always good, but this is maybe the first time I’ve REALLY seen him play a different character.

    ★★★★

    Great opening, got a little slow in the middle/end (I was a little worried), but it really ended in a great, beautiful, satisfying, impactful way that bumped it back up to a 4 for me. It definitely could have been better, but I think the pace of it ending up doing the characters justice. Very “I have a friend of a friend who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who can help.” Not.

    Mikey was really great in this, but I wanted to like it more. Shockingly simple in a lot of ways. Most of my issues were storyline in the second half. The beginning was great, but the hunt for Vanya was way too long; it started feeling like a weird animated sequence where the whole cast was just running around blindly searching. They definitely could have made it more interesting, nd because it became so centered around him, it made me…

    This WASN’T calling me.
    Who asked for this?. The music wasn’t extraordinary or special. Everything great about the first one just kind of got diluted. The added side characters had no personality. The storyline wasn’t creative. It felt like an episode in a series.
