Lacks what made the first movie great

Rating: Null/10 (27 July 2018)

The first movie was great. It was exciting, packed with funny jokes, and very emotionally resonant. The plot was also good without being flaky.
However, this seriously falters when compared to the first movie. It lacks the oomph the first movie had due to its dragging pace and lack of good characters to make you feel for what happened. The jokes feel forced here rather than funny. It also lacks the emotional resonance with poor, forced melodrama (and the characters, again). Finally, the plot is uninteresting and doesn't make a lot of sense.
As always, good visuals, but there should be no reason for this movie to be rated a 7.7 when it is far inferior from the first movie.
