Just a well made movie imo.
I have no idea what to write as a review. If you liked the first one you’ll probably like this too. Nothing super gay or woke imo, just some excellent characters in interesting situations. A couple audible “what the fuck am I watching” were elicited.
Im looking forward to the sequels, in spite of the announced director for the next one (though I’ve not seen anything she’s made, she did make the Marvels…)
That's a fact! The 'monster' is the real star of this genre of movies. The first film focused more on that than the 2nd did, which explains (to me) why one was good and the other 'ok'.
Like the American attempts to re-make Godzilla films (meh at best) vs Godzilla Zero (really good!).
Stay true to the genre, that's what people come to see. Don't try mixing in 'new stuff' unless that stuff is great OR you're super-talented at making films. Neither is likely as both are pretty rare, eh?
