I enjoyed it thoroughly, most probably will too, but it’s just slightly lacking emotionally. Everything is very easy & surface.is pretty awesome. Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn & Fred Hechinger shine. It’s a worthy follow-up & Ridley Scott captures the spirit of the original but sequel is its own thing.is what happens when Ridley Scott lets loose and finds heart in the action. A total spectacle with a pulsating pace.
Ive watched a lot movies this year I dont mean to be hyperbolic but I cannot overstate HOW GOOD this film isPrivacy Policy .
