    Interesting premise but just wasn't bought into this at all. Rob Morrow and Paul Schofield were both insufferable and awful actors. Weak script

    Talk about a disappointing follow-up. Relatively interesting premise ruined by some just awful plot choices, so many ways this thing went that were just not at all interesting. That, combined with a set of characters who were either uninteresting or unbearable leads to a less than desirable outcome. Steve Park was actively atrocious, every scene he was in was ruined because of it. Not sure where Bong's head was at when choosing this route after Parasite but I sincerely hope he gets back on track for the next.

    Very entertaining. Hugh Grant and MM were awesome, I need to get into more of their stuff. Also shout out to Jeremy Strong, he held his own (succession gang). Pretty much all of the quirky little accents that were included only helped to make it such an enjoyable watch. I don't feel like I gained a whole lot from this, but that's not a bad thing; it tried to be an entertaining movie, and it succeeded.

    So much fun to watch. A bit rocky at the start but the 20 minute mark until the final scene was stellar. The script is so so tight, the brains it would take to come up with a story like that is unreal. Rian's direction style is also right up my alley, he pushes the boundary with some shot choices but never in a way that seems like a gimmick or forced. Cast on paper wasn't as solid as the last movie but everyone performed just as well as the first group.

    Have fun seeing it in 3 months, peasants
