Visually spectacular Sequel

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2017)

I will have to see this a couple more times before giving a detailed review. But first and foremost this is a visual masterpiece and if it doesn't win an Oscar for the cinematography then the winner will have been a great film.
There are periods of slow unfolding drama, but stick with it, it's deep, tense and complex in places, but the overall result is just outstanding. I find Ryan Gosling is either superb or just plain dull, he gives a performance that at face value appears dull, but that is how is character is supposed to be, but he adds a depth that is mind blowing and at the end of it all it will go down as one of his best performances, and his casting (IMHO) is a master stroke.
This film won't be to everyone's liking, you either get it or you don't, and if you don't that doesn't necessarily make it a bad film. I have seen people label it boring and flat, don't expect some pseudo-Star Wars blockbuster, there's far more to it than that.
Finally all I can say is if you rated the original and consider it a classic, then you won't be disappointed with this sequel
