Half way through watching this in the cinema, I thought "maybe it's me". Maybe it's my fault I'm not into this movie. But I loved the original, so what's going on.
No. The problem is this movie is a bland attempt to express messages about gender roles and current society issues. It lacks flow, it's just a bunch of scenes one after the other, there's no coherent thread or curious elements tying it together.
Nice visuals goes without saying, but the story is let down by a sense that it's been engineered around a board room table by people referring to their social media feeds for inspiration, rather than dreamt up by talented writers.
Sure, some scenes are fun. But we're not watching a youtube playlist here, this is a movie and it's supposed to work as a whole, not just momentarily.
The script is uninteresting, the action is exciting sometimes, but other times you just want it to end or move on. Very disappointing.
Toy Story 2 was a great sequel, but this is a very poor sequel. Forgettable.
If you love the first, then hold onto that because it doesn't get better. It gets worse.
