    Genuinely… I had noooo idea what to expect from this one but, you know what? What an honestly fun time. The characters and their relationships really grew on me. Story wise, I thought all the through lines were subtle and yet also clear and tied off nicely by the end. Quirky, fun, grand ol time.

    No, the fact that it had musical elements did not bother me. Of course Lady Gaga blew Joaquin Phoenix (singing wise) out of the water… but that’s because she’s Lady Gaga and the purpose of those scenes wasn’t to show Joaquin’s pipes. *Sigh*

    Yeah… the first one had an ironic sense of justice, twisted and disturbing, but it was present… this one… this one just says, “You’re born, life sucks, and then you die.” Not sure I understood the purpose of this sequel.

    As a friend of mine aptly stated, “Sort of a masterclass in mediocrity.” The acting was a surprising range of lukewarm to over-acting,  the original lore was COMPLETELY thrown out the window, it introduced minimum FIVE different plot points and didn’t complete any of them… and you’d think at least the action would carry the team… but most fight scenes had a great opening, then the movie cuts away, then cuts back and the fight is over! Like, every single…

    UGH. Sooo great to see Will Smith in a historical role again. Almost forgot just how wonderful of an actor he is. And I loved how conversational the whole film felt. Every scene between every actor felt engaging and real. Aunjanue Ellis, Jon Bernthal, and Tony Goldwyn were true pleasures to watch.
