I don't understand the overwhelming positive reaction to this film. The writing is so so soooooo lazy. It's like they just thought, "we need to have a scene that reminds the audience of this part of the original, we need to have a scene that reminds the audience of that part of the original." It's beyond predictable, reductive, and overly familiar. I get that it's a sequel but this is ridiculous. And Jennifer Connelly - who I usually like very much - is really annoying in this. I don't necessarily blame her, though, I think it's the writing and directing. A real positive though is this: Miles Tenner is perfectly cast.
