Dueling Critics

thumbs-up

“Director Jason Reitman’s soul-satisfying film…harkens back to our favorite summer blockbusters of the ‘80s, even though it’s set in 2021, and pays homage to the original while feeling fresh and new…[T]hroughout the movie, fans will be thrilled to be reunited with many familiar, hilarious faces.”
thumbs-up

“Rarely has a sequel been this listless, this creatively bankrupt or this unaware of the charm and appeal of its predecessors. Rarely has a film been this craven in appeasing an imaginary audience by mimicking what came before it and refusing to challenge itself in terms of dreaming up a new world, crafting new characters or fashioning new stakes.”
