Not deserving of an 8

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2018)

The writing/story quality falls off quite noticeably in the 2nd half of the movie.
The first half of the movie with Elsti-girl in the spotlight was amazing, with some of the best action sequences and a strong premise. And the writing was on par with the first film.
However, nearing the climax and final confrontation, all the events just got willy-nilly and lost the tight and cleverness the the first half, or the first movie.
One of the remarkable trait of the first movie was its tight writing and story through and through. This movie obviously doesn't have that, which is a real shame, and felt like they got lazy half way with story-boarding.
The ending was also both stereotypical and cartoony, which really hurts the realistic societal backdrop this story usually offers.
