That's really all I have to say. I could sit here and enumerate a dozen, if not more, reasons why this movie profoundly lacks the magic of the first one, but I find myself a little exhausted after being disappointed by it. I still rate it a 6/10. It was a good watch. Lots of over the top gore and anime style action. However, the movie seems keen on cramming in all these new characters with powers, and in the end it sort of invalidates the original girl's powers as a whole. If everyone is special, then no one is special.

Too many little stories are crammed into the runtime of this movie, and I think that's where it inevitably fell short. The acting, cinematography, etc, is all absolutely stunning from a visual standpoint. I think it was really just the overall script that held it back from capturing that same lightening in a bottle as the first movie.

I kept asking myself "who are these people?" "Wait, why are these two people fighting?" "Why isn't she already butchering everyone?"

What I really and truly hope for, is that now that this lore and origin story is out of the way, that the third movie will hit with a massive bang, and really justify the existence of the second movie.

If you liked the first movie, you might be a little let down by this one. Maybe not. I was, but I'm still looking forward to the third and final movie.

I watched this about a week before it came out. Been sitting here waiting to give this movie one star, which was only available to do so today, as it was the official release date.

This movie is bad. And I mean really bad. So bad it hurts because you realize you could have been doing anything better than wasting your time watching it. If you spent money on this movie, then great job getting clowned, because at least I didn't give them a single penny. You on the other hand have to live with the fact that you wasted actual money on it! Haha! Scream into that pillow for me later tonight when you try to sleep.

There was some great build up in this movie, and then the ending just sort of happens. Why is it happening? Oh, you're going to love the non-excuse they give, which amounts to the degenerate "Somehow Palpatine has returned" line from the recent Star wars dumpster fire.

Look, in short, because I don't want to spoil it and have my review hidden, this movie is not a movie. It's just something that people happened to film over the course of a week or whatever, and then somehow managed to actually string it all together. The scenes make no sense together. There is not real plot because the way it was filmed was nothing more than random scenes that could narrowly be spliced together to form a modicum of coherency.

Do not waste your time, and do your duty and give this movie the 1 star it deserves. I imagine the creators are going to see this, and I just wanted to say directly to them, "This is a cry for help; you lack serious skill and talent. I would say you should probably just get used to the idea of working at McDonalds, but I would be concerned if I saw you making my food."

I have to say up front, I did enjoy this movie. It's better than most things that have been coming out recently. I'm really not a fan of this new age dead-pan style humor that they're trying to inject into everything though. It doesn't come off as funny or smart. It's actually pretty annoying. The Tomorrow War also had this sort of humor in it, as well. It seems to be a growing trend with movies nowadays, and I'm really not a fan of it.

The acting and story was decent. Like I said, it's better than most movies that I've seen lately. There is a slight twist at the end, but you can honestly guess it pretty easily. I wouldn't say that diminishes it in any capacity though, and should not be construed as doing so. If you're looking for a quality movie to blow some time with, this is certainly it. Be warned though, there exists a glaring negative attribute here, and it is as follows.

I would say the biggest thing weighing down an otherwise great movie, is quite simply the toxic and entirely regressive leftist politics that were injected into it. They make a blatant reference to draconian "gender constructs" in this, and many other things that align themselves with that sort of corrosive political leanings. Like other movies that have come out in the past decade, this completely ruins it. It's really sad, to be honest, to see a movie of this caliber being brought down to such a level. Normalizing mental disorders is never acceptable, especially for people who need actual help.

I'm rating this movie a 6. It's decent. You will enjoy it. It's just really depressing that its otherwise pristine waters were muddied by misplaced politics. People just want to watch movies, not be lectured.
