Major letdown: an uncalled-for sequel

Rating: 5/10 (23 April 2015)

What a major disappointment...
This film is VERY contrived, taking all the magic from the first endeavour. I watched and loved "Sunrise" a few days ago and was thus very eager for this. I wonder how most people - well, here at least... - seem to find it so good. One word occurred to me throughout the whole experience: unnecessary. Plus, there's some real painful dialogue to go through this time around, namely from Celine's character. Lame, clichéd, ill-written. The location is once again a mere postcard, but even that works less good than Vienna did.
Perhaps the worst thing though: this time it was virtually impossible to feel the attraction. Null chemistry. What I saw were two actors trying to rehash their old hit. Acting the whole time. And using "right?" at the end of every 3 sentences.
Now if I could just unsee this and stay with the magic of the original movie...
