I mean, the first one was fine, but this film is just mid. The obvious shift to a cash grab is present here. It's good, don't get me wrong, but the vibe was more of a 'watch in the background' movie. It felt rushed, not giving space for this movie to breathe. This feels more like a bridge movie, where the first was good, and the last is where we will get the meat of the story. But this movie is not it. It's not bad, it's just... meh. A situation where you're just neutral about it...
It just felt more disjointed than one whole story. Like there's a lot in this movie that could have been cut.
