What a piece of garbage

Rating: 2/10 (22 September 2018)

Because of this utter piece of dung, my eyes started to bleed, spilling blood both outside and inside my head. The users to have given this video 8, 9 or 10/10. Did we even see the same thing? This flick makes me think of the situation with the contemporary pop music. Filmmakers are so afraid to lose your attention that they actually give you a non-stop action sequence. This is much like with "hooks" (catchy sequences) in music that keep you stimulated. If you ask me why they do that, it's because, after you see beyond the action, you realize that there is nothing there. It is hollow. This makes me angry, because it started off as a promising trilogy and "Chapter One" whetted my appetite for this one. What makes me even more angry is that the filmmakers must think their audiences are stupid and they will buy into any piece of crap they are served. I have given this movie two stars firstly, because of presentation of the action scenes themselves which are pleasant to watch (however implausible they are, like, e.g. taking cover behind the jacket one is wearing, walking out of point-blank shots unscathed). The second one I have given for the sake of the previous installment, which I believe to be much superior, and because there is still a sliver of hope that they will make everything right in the third one.
