Watching the first film before jumping into this defiantly helps with the experience.
Great casting and proformance's. What's awesome is this is a true sequal and not just a reboot pretending to be a sequal. The movie was quite enjoyable up until the 3rd act.
A villian they introduce in the movie I feel they could have done more with them. I also felt this movie could have finished alot better if it wasn't setting up for a 3rd film.
