Is it better than the first? Maybe not. But I had a good time seeing it.
That’s a great score
Had a lot of fun with this one. Every actor is 100% on board and putting in good performances, could have used a little more Kevin Durand though. Watching Elijah Woods be a little freak is always a good time.
