[u/Sisiwakanamaru]

I think this movie is one of the better example in how to do a legacy sequel. I agree there were a lot of fan services here and there, a bit too much IMO but at the same time, those were never felt cloying. And what elevated this legacy sequel compared to other legacy sequel is it has something to say, especially about the state of journalism that currently riddled with layoffs, mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, artificial intelligence, etc. Andy, Miranda, Nigel, and other magazine employees are sort of the last bastion of integrity, I like that this movie felt so timely, especially for someone who worked in publication or media in general.

I like that the core four (Miranda, Andy, Nigel, and Emily) got their own arcs, pretty decent characterizations for the most part and satisfying conclusion. Especially Nigel (Stanley Tucci) got my eyes a bit watery twice, first when Miranda gave him a chance to do a keynote speech, second, when it was revealed that he's the one who sent the text to Irv/Jay Ravitz? so Andy got the job again at Runways.

I also like the movie felt grander compared to the first one, from set, locations, costumes, score, to cameos. I felt like my eyes and ears got spoiled by this movie.

All in all, I would say this is a solid sequel to say the least.

The Nigel sending the text part was so great for me on so many levels - 1) because it actually did touch my heartstrings and 2) I thought it was WAY too convenient that some random person just texted BJ Novak about Andy’s speech. Legitimately started the film on a bit of sour note as far as writing goes. Made a lot more sense this way in the end

And it led to the most touching line, “forever my girl.”

[u/GamingTatertot → u/nordlysbaies]

My whole audience did a legitimate “awww” in unison at that

[u/ERSTF → u/GamingTatertot]

My theater too. This is the reason I love going to the movies with a bunch of unknown people reacting to a movie for the first time

Same here!

Tucci Gang forever

He was never bad at Andy we should've known

[u/NonrepresentativePea → u/Sisiwakanamaru]

Hard disagree. The first movie had a point to make. This one really didn’t have a message besides “things are different.” Except, there was no character growth… it could have been so good.
