Good movie with some lazy writing

Rating: 8/10 (9 September 2018)

This movie was good because the plot was original and there were some truly funny scenes and some pretty cool action scenes as well. That being said, I lost track of how many times they referenced the original movie. Every time I heard a joke that was from the original movie, I always thought "wow these writers really don't know what the fans want". I never heard a copied joke and thought "oh haha it reminds me of the first one because it's the same line from the first one". This happened way way WAY too many times for a marvel movie, considering they basically own hollywood at this point. Again, the rest of the movie was good enough to overshadow the laziness in writing, but it's still there and it makes me mad. The best way for a sequel to pay homage to the original is by leaving it the hell alone, not by leaching off the funny parts of it in an attempt to get some cheap easy laughs that the other writers already got the first time. Worst part of this situation: it probably will only get worse in the next one. Still a good movie, 8/10 stars is still good! But lazy writing.
