Man, the first 30 minutes of this movie were pretty bad. I thought the whole movie was gonna be a train wreck because it starts with clunky (at best) dialog, no conflict, and lots of bad exposition. Then, about a 1/3 of the way in when the actual plot finally gets started, it picks up and grabbed my attention. I got invested in a big way and it held me until the end.

Huge fan of the first movie. It's one of the few films I've rated 10/10. Thought this one was gonna drop the ball, but in the end it's a fairly solid 7.5 or even 8/10. I'll decide for sure on my next watch.

Glad we saw it in the theater. Thank you Netflix for making that possible.
