Awesome sequel
I love wreck it Ralph and I was pleasantly surprised with the sequel. It was great for all ages and so funny. The underlying theme for me was how it's ok to want different things that your friends and family don't want, it's ok to make new friends and to not get jealous or scared if they are going in a different direction. It's a really great message for the younger generation.
It has some sad and meaningful content especially with this digital age ant the emphasis not to get to upset over comments on social media ect.
Great film

Cranky Dad UK (11 KP) rated The Incredibles 2 (2018) in Movies
Jul 17, 2018 (Updated Jul 17, 2018)
Incredibly good fun.
Incredibles 2 is a fast paced, funny and visually jaw dropping experience.
The story carries on immediately after the first one finishes and deals with the struggle of parenthood, in an intelligent and relatable way.
All the laughs and stunning action sequences are there as hoped for and boy do the set pieces look amazing.
It's a shame we have had to wait so long for this sequel but when you watch it, it feels like the super family have never been away.
A superbly entertaining sequel.

This is Lincoln Preston's (collaboration of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child) sequel to their earlier novel <i>Relic</i>.
As befits any sequel, the canvas is larger this time around, with the novel set in (and below) the entirety of Manhattan rather than just in Manhattan's Museum on Natural History (where <i>Relic</i> was set). It seems there are monsters in the sewers now ...
The novel also pretty much the same cast as the earlier book (Dr Frock, Margo Green, Bill Smithback, Lieutenant D'Agosta and Special Agent Pendergast), not all of whom who are who they appear to be, and is indeed a pretty gripping read!

Meh
The original movie was a real guilty pleasure. Dark, twisted, funny and something very different from the million other saccharine and sentimental Christmas movies out there. The sequel is unfortunately very disappointing, it seems to think just consistently swearing is an acceptable substitute for actual humour . The writing is very weak and none of the actors look like they want to be there. It feels like a contractual obligation and a waste of talented actors like Billy Bob Thornton and Kathy Bates. The delightfully weird sandwich obsessed Thurman Murman does provide a bit of amusement and a few callbacks to the superior original but overall this is a poor sequel.

Basically, I feel like this movie falls in to the trap of forced foreshadowing. In that they tried to make it seem like what happened in this sequel was hinted at in the first film, but for me personally, it felt very far fetched. Definitely made for some easy money, but to be fair, most sequels are these days. That being said, I still enjoyed the movie, it just wasn't great.

Stunts
Watched last night I've probably played the games a lot in the last two years and now a lot about the backstory of the assassins and the Templars. And watching the movie I saw a lot of the lore from the games in the movie. Anyway to the movie itself I remember needing this when it first came out and was impressed by the stunt work and the locations michel fassbender plays both characters is excellent and So is irons and cortillard. Still can't believe they didn't make a sequel. this movie needed a sequel but thank goodness for the games keeping the franchise alive

The film ends somewhat vaguely, which leaves us wondering if there will be another sequel or if this fizzled ending signals the end of the series.
