Good not great.

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2019)

I went into this movie with high expectations, which may have contributed to my overall disappointment. I enjoyed all the characters performances, cinematography and sound design. It was the story that did not grab me as a viewer. A story that I was already invested in was not able to keep my interest. The CGI done of the younger versions of the main cast threw me off and ruined my immersion of the film and I went in hoping it not be predictable. I was hoping the writer and director would want to shake up some of the story, including the ending, to give audiences an entertaining and original experience. What we got was a rated R version of the 1990 miniseries. I did not leave the theater hating the film and found my initial experience enjoyable. It just was not a movie I found myself talking about afterward or wanting to see a second time, especially compared to wanting to watch part 1 several times after it's release. I'd recommend it just to get a conclusion from the superior first part.
