A sequel which manages to do the impossible: be better than the first masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2017)

All I ever wanted for a 10/10 movie was to leave the theaters emotional not because the movie was sad but because it gave me everything and more. And for the longest time I thought it was a dumb standard cause nothing delivers. A combination of the company, the film, and the environment (Atmos, leather seats, good food) made for a truly amazing experience.
Definitely need to rewatch this another one or two times but holy.
Easily the best looking film I'v ever watched. Now that he easy part is done:
It was thrilling, it was thought provoking, it was emotional, beautiful, heavy, smart, and well all around one of the best films I've seen. I liked the first one a lot, but this is what I expected when I hear everyone saying the original is a true masterpiece and one of the best films of all time.
Even at a long screen time of 163 minutes, I was not bored for a second. Complete immersion was achieved in part due to the amazing Dolby Atmos theater I saw this in as well as the great score and visuals. The slow burn definitely led to an amazing bang, and at the very end I could not believe this had met and surpassed every expectation I had for it.
At the end of the day, this movie is not for everyone. I wasn't ever bored but I can understand if someone else is. Even when nothing was happening the score, the set design, and the cinematography acted as characters to the plot and enhanced the experience.
I could not recommend this enough. I want everyone to watch it as it is currently bombing at the box office, but at the same time I'm almost happy it is so it assures we won't get another sequel after this, at least for a while.
