CGI on steroids....

Rating: 5/10 (24 November 2019)

I watched the two films in a double bill and I really did want to enjoy this as much as I did the first - but boy, could this have been much more of a let down? The original has a far better cast; snappier direction and a much tighter script. This just rumbles along with a staccato, portmanteau-style storyline that robs the narrative of much of the cohesion of it's earlier iteration. The ending is straight out of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" without the roller skates!. Sadly disappointing.
