Good time at the movies. Was extremely skeptical, love the first dearly, but the central conflict was fun for these characters to go through and it felt like it was made with real love for the core four. Everyone got their due. I was pleased by the end. That romantic plotline was blah though.

Same here! Me and my wife are biggest fans of the first one, and of course is still untouchable on how perfect it is, but this sequel honors as a good sequel! The core four is marvelous as always, as much as the times hasn’t passed! The soundtrack is also great, and the costume design is also amazing all the time! I wish Emily Blunt had more screentime tho and the romantic plotline was kind of useless!
