A sequel that in many ways does more with itself than its predecessor, delivering really fun banter between Ben Affleck and Jon Berthnal in addition to still being as elegantly directed and crafted. I felt that the first film spent a bit too much time focusing on establishing its lead character and universe and didn't focus on the actual story all that much, and this film corrects that with putting Wolff on an actual adventure for him to go through…

If the whole film was just Benicio del Toro growling and Saoirse Ronan's blue eyes it would have gotten a 5-star rating

I finally know what live-action Sensei Wu will look like…

While this did feel like a satisfying conclusion to the first film, I honestly don’t think this was as good when you classify it as an individual movie. You can definitely feel the pacing dragging on, with more quiet moments of dialogue than action scenes; this wouldn’t be a huge deal if all of the quiet scenes we're substantial and engaging, but a lot of them really weren’t minus everything…
