An improvement over the first for sure, fully embracing the silliness and campiness of the first and doing a damn good job at it. I can see why many like it and dislike it. If you're in it for the fun of it, this movie is a blast, and it was thrilling to finally see a live-action Carnage.

As long as it's not taken it too seriously, the film is a fun, silly, and not to mention, violent experience to be enjoyed by many.
