A lot of fun.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
