Honestly, this film is... okay. A "5," but the people giving a "1" because of their political bull**** tanking the number made me rate it on the higher end. Not unlike Mad Max: Fury Road, or Captain Marvel, there are a bunch of triggered viewers out there seeking to tank the numbers, simply because they see it as some sort of personal attack that the film aims to appeal to an audience outside of their demographic. It's not bad... Not nearly as good as the original, but many of the poor reviews are undoubtedly unfair. It's mediocre, for sure, but not unwatchable, or even altogether unenjoyable. It has its moments of actually standing on its own... though it never manages to be anything other than a sequel which is only really for fans of the original... and, obviously, not all of them. Overall, the film is watchable as straight to streaming sequels go, but that's about as high of an endorsement as I can give it... that said... its shortcomings are not due to its "wokeness" or its political statements... it's just lacking in creativity or originality.
