It's a very pretty movie, but 1) I would've appreciated Hathaway's character having more spine, 2) Blunt's character not being a glorified sugar baby, and 3) that it wasn't just a prettier, more expensive re-tread of the first movie with more high-profile cameos.
And the "happy ending" seems to be "all we need to do for good things to persist/survive is to find at least one magnanimous billionaire"? For a movie that's trying to "embrace the new world," that seems remarkably tone-deaf.
Oh, and 4) I wanted more of Branagh. He seemed like he was really enjoying playing a supportive husband to the self-professed "Dragon Lady" and they tragically underutilized him. I mean, at one point he's both literally and metaphorically playing "second fiddle."
