Rian Johnson is a pretty good director. The cinematography he gets out of his guys is really good in this one. His class consciousness is really getting more defined and he's getting better at the metaphors. All wrapped up in an entertaining mystery.

Though I can understand why people wouldn't like this one. If you just want to take the events in the film seriously then this one isn't as solid as the first film.

I don't really care much for the text of a film and the filmmakers in this one really know how to make a film that appeals to me. I know I say this often but I am a big fan of leftist messaging coming back to mainstream films.
