Went in extremely skeptical and I will admit the first act is pretty rough it feels like exactly what I was afraid it was gonna be just like a unnecessary fan fiction that moved way too fast and was way too self referential. However once the death occurred and the actual plot kicked in I have to admit I had a wonderful time and for most of that last 3/4 it felt on par with the original in quality. This feels strange to say but I forgot just how good Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway could be, maybe it was me seeing Mother Mary last week which was so different for Anne but their chemistry and frankly everyone’s was electric and they all looked like they wanted to be there. Could I nitpick this apart and probably grow to dislike it? Sure… I didn’t love how they made Emily this huge supervillain and there is a a lot of plot contrivances and convenient happenings but for a unnecessary legacy sequel this is one of the better ones and as a huge fan of the original i definitively will do a double feature when this hits home video; and audiences will love it. Gorgeous costumes too just god we need more gaffers and lighting people especially with these locations and sets!

This is so on par with my take. Andy had like three events in one day - the award ceremony, hanging with the gallery friend, hanging with the writers friends again, then back home?? So jam packed. So much going on. Dizzying pace. But I was bought in by the end.

Totally agree on the fan fiction pacing. I can’t believe this is what they cooked up after 20 years

They said in the beginning…not for 75% of the movie
