Mon Espion 2: La Cité Éternelle

The first movie was so fresh and funny!! The second however was not. It's kinda sad to see how horrible Sophie and JJ get along this time, like what the frick happened to thier relationship why is she such a horrible person in this one. The jokes are not as funny and the action isn't as cool. For me is was just very very hard to watch all of the fighting knowing how much love wes in the last one. Also the plot holes are so bad💀💀💀💀💀💀. Also omg it's kinda copying the movie spiderman far from home...school field trip goes wrong in Italy and then fighting/action movie stuff. The one bright spot is flula borg (I love that man-he is hilarious.)

Honestly, what I enjoyed the most were the parts of the soundtrack that featured the La Cañada High School Chamber Singers. Their sound was impeccable and the 3 songs fit the (supposed) venue of the Vatican, although the recordings had obviously been made under indoor conditions with a professional sound set up, maybe in a recording studio.

The plot was essentially all the expected tropes, and the dialogue was boring. We watched the typical car crashes. Is that what they spend the budget on? Buying up the vehicles they need for the chase scenes? Oh, well. It kept my occupied while I ate my pizza.

We're back with CIA treetrunk JJ and his little girl Sophie. Stuff happens that means they have to go to Italy, and so the movie can happen they get mixed up in a dastardly plot. Bwah ha ha and all that.

This sequel hits all the beats you'd expect, with decent action and enough laughs to keep you watching. It's full of clichés, like a bad guy pausing before striking a fatal blow then being taken out by a third party, or the hero looking beaten but suddenly becoming invincible when the bad guy gets them angry.

The acting is OK, with the two leads slipping easily back into their characters aided by nice turns from Ken Jeong and Kristen Schaal.

If you liked the first you'll like this.

Like a previous reviewer wrote the gags were not very original however it's still seems like even with the tension created between jjj and Sophie it will all work itself out in the end. The tech girl wasn't as funny as she was in first movie just a bit more strange this do round. So now I have to close out this review seeing as it's the first formal opinion I've ever shared. Forgive me but I like Ken jeong and Dave Bautista so I give them the benefit of the doubt this time they have both come a long way since their beginnings.i don't see the reason to render an opinion and it has to be mean scathing and insensitive when none of us are creators just viewers with opinions like you know what's. I wish I had the talent or fearlessness to put myself out there for all the world to judge.

This the most absurd but I expected it to be this funny and unserious to what actually is happening, in instance of them being tangled in chain above and try to make a joke about password and 2FA, it didn't land how they expected it to be. And the protagonist asks a lot of money or else the will destroy all of the places in the world which is kind of "will never happen" moment because you just know there isn't any unique to the pot like twist coming up. But it is fun to watch if you think 14 years old is going to save the CiA mistake even though she still can't even drive a car. I gave it 4/10 for the fun moments but it is trash.
