Another good British Zombie film
A decent low budget British Zombie film. It starts very well and was similar to 28 days later with some of the opening scenes. The 2nd half is a little slower as a few survivors from a military base try to protect a girl who could hold the cure. I didn't like the ending but overall the film has some good elements.

Typical high concept (and colourful) Pixar film, that clearly takes as its inspiration the immigration experience, and set in a city where elements (fire, earth, water, air) are all anthropomorphic and do not always mix well.

Not that I have any personal experience of that (honestly).

As such, I'm sure it resonates more with those who have personal experience of immigration than those who don't, which is not to say that there is nothing to enjoy for the latter group.

May not be Pixar's best, true, but still enjoyable enough.

Continuity of cast
Not as good as the first one, but still better than the next....
Introduction of concepts and elements that weren't present in the first - reincarnation, Rick's tattoo and it's significance, etc (1 more)
The Scorpion King's introduction looks like a PS2 cutscene.
A solid sequel
This is a solid sequel, even if it falls short of the mark set by it's predecessor. The entire (surviving) cast returns, which I appreciate in a franchise, and the story mostly delivers. There are a few frustrating elements, such as all of a sudden adding concepts such as reincarnation (especially given that the concurring reveal would have been relevant to the story of the first film) or Rick's tattoo that he's had since his childhood, except that he didn't have it in the first movie. Where this film really falls short, though, is a couple bad animation moments. Mostly the film is a lot like the first in terms of effects - decent animation for 2002, if occasionally dated, but a couple of sequences are jarringly bad, especially the Rock's entrance as the Scorpion King. Is it enough to keep me from watching? No. But I still cringe at that point every time.
