Watched yesterday probably the first time I've seen at the cinema that was meant Netflix but for one week only its Been at cinemas cross the country anyway the film going into the sequel could top the orignal knives out yes it does from the many red herrings thruout the film to Daniel Craig's dodgy accent as beniot blanc the only returning cast member from the first movie. There's a twist in the middle of the movie that I didn't see coming which I won't give away and a surprise cameo which I wasn't expecting either overall good movie

Newest (at the time of writing) entry in the increasingly-expanding 'Alien' universe, with this particular entry set between the events of the original 'Alien' and its sequel 'Aliens'.
So between the two best entries in the franchise, in other words.
I found it also heavily dependant upon those movies, with several call-backs and references made to those (and even to the much-maligned 'Alien; Resurrection' and to 'Prometheus'); almost a case of 'pick the best bits and mash them together' in several parts.
Enjoyable enough, yes, but - to me - it doesn't reach the heights of the earlier entries.

David McK (3663 KP) rated The Incredibles 2 (2018) in Movies
Jan 6, 2025
2018 sequel to the 2004 original, with this one largely switching the focus away from Mr Incredible to his wife Elastigirl, and with this picking up almost immediately from the end of that previous movie in a world where Superheroes are real, a common occurrence, and outlawed by a society that is sick and tired of the destruction that seems to follow them around.
Not everybody feels that way, of course, with some citizens wishing to undo the outlawing of the same, which here provides the catalyst for the plot.
Enjoyable? Yes.
As much so as the first? That's a tougher call ...

David McK (3663 KP) rated Rush Hour 2 (2001) in Movies
Jan 15, 2021 (Updated Aug 3, 2025)
2001 sequel to the 1998 original, picking up with Carter and Lee in Hong Kong (see the end of 'Rush Hour'), effectively flipping the script from the first film on its head - now it's Carter who is the fish out of water.
However, when the American embassy is bombed and the trail leads to the triad its not long before they are both back on the job, ending up (in this case) in Las Vegas and a link to Chief Inspector Lee's past.
Not as funny as the first film, with Tucker seeming to dial the 'annoyingness' up to 11!

Lee (2222 KP) rated Daddy's Home 2 (2017) in Movies
Dec 8, 2017
Starts off great but soon veers off into not so great territory.
This year hasn't been good for the comedy movie genre. Will Ferrell in particular managed to star in one of the worst 'comedy' movies I've seen in a long time with 'The House' and even the anticipated sequel to one of the better comedies in recent years, Bad Moms, turned out to be a complete dud. So when a similar, Christmas themed sequel to what was essentially one of the more average movies in recent years came along, my hopes weren't exactly high. The original Daddys Home coasted along on the likeable pairing of Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg but did feature a handful of funny elements, obviously enough to greenlight a sequel.
As mentioned previously, Daddys Home 2 is set at Christmas time. Brad and Dusty (Ferrell and Wahlberg) have worked out their differences from the first movie and are getting along just fine as 'co-dads' to the kids. When their own dads (Mel Gibson and John Lithgow) pay a visit, they decide to have a 'together' family Christmas, and Kurt (Gibson) even manages to book a luxury cabin in the snow for them to enjoy it all in. It's a bit of a whirlwind setup, but for a while it all works surprisingly well. I found myself really laughing at some scenes, it was like watching a classic Christmas family disaster along the lines of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.
But sadly, the momentum soon drops. Scene after scene fails to hit home, and some scenes even leave you wondering what the hell they were thinking by including them in the movie in the first place. Mel Gibsons character becomes increasingly annoying and it's all just a bit of a shame really. Things manage to get back on track towards the end of the movie but it's disappointing that it doesn't retain the high level of laughs and entertainment that kicked off the first third or so.

An entertaining sequel
When we got to the cinema last night, my friend and I realised that neither of us had seen a trailer for this film. Weird considering how big a film it is, but I've been left wondering if this has had an impact on our overall enjoyment of the film.
Either way, Frozen II is an impressive sequel in that it's actually very good. The animation is superb as you'd expect from Disney and there's a lot of heart and humour in this. There are 2 notably stand out brilliant moments in this film: the first is Olaf's retelling of the events of the first film (I nearly wet myself laughing at this point) and Kristoff's power ballad - not only is it a great song but hilarious too - I won't spoil it for anyone but Sven and the reindeer, genius. The songs themselves are good and there are some stand out tunes amongst them all, but I did feel like they didn't quite match up to those from the original. I've actually come out of the film with Let It Go stuck in my head rather than any other the newer tracks.
The plot in this film is good, it's your typical Disney fare with some fun and adorable characters thrown in. My biggest problem with this though is the overall cheesy lovey dovey over affectionate-ness of it all. Yes I know that's not unusual for a Disney film, but this felt like way too much even for Disney. I was ready to reach for the sick bag by the time it finished. It's a shame really as I think if they had eased up on the over the top sisterly love, I would've rated this a little higher as I really enjoyed everything else. Or maybe I just hated this aspect because I'm a stone cold heartless Brit...
Overall a very good impressive sequel, that almost comes close to matching up to the original.
