It's good. As good as the first. :thumb:
I liked it but it was different than #1
There seemed to me to be a lot more humour/sarcasm in the dialogue than the first. Wasn't a fan of that initially but got used to it, really enjoyed it. :D

Mickey 17 (2025). Based on the novel Micky7, Bong Joon Ho's latest entry didn't receive the plaudits of his previous blockbusters (Parasite, Snowpiercer etc) but I absolutely loved it! A darkly funny sci-fi. Perhaps didn't need to be over 2 hours long, but I'll be watching it again.

Yes, that was the big difference in my mind. If done well I like the humor and sarcasm and I think they did good.

Just watched a cracking little Thai horror that had passed me by. Home for Rent (2023). Takes a moment to get going (and some naff acting in parts like most Thai movies) but ends up being a real creepy occult delight. :D

Clown in a Cornfield (2025). Love me a good clown movie and this isn't a bad one. A young adult slasher with some decent kills. It's goofy in parts with some cheesy 80's horror dialogue—some of the humour works really well, some doesn't. All in all, an easy-to-watch brainless movie to while away an hour and a half. :D
