Drunk Baron determined to try pizza pie was the best part of the episode.
The further it goes the less I am willing to suspend my disbelief. Children learn to read on their own and know how to vocalize what they read without knowledge of phonetics. A whole lot of human history, science, and invention fits into the few books that can be stuffed into the box they inherit. They talk about building weapons that kill hundreds and how they can just do that from written documents. Characters don’t age even though nearly two decades pass. The twins are irritating little shytes. Things come to them too easily and it just feels fake. I like watching See for the setting, because it reminds me of Horizon Zero Dawn minus the machines, but the plot isn’t that engaging and the plot holes just make it worse.
What a cliffhanger! I love the twisted dirty secrets.
Eh... For the first hour and a half, I'd say, the movie struggled to find footing. Adding the clueless old men and their drama, and leaving out Bethany for most of the adventure was a wrong move. Dwayne Johnson did horribly trying to impersonate Danny DeVito, but the slack was promptly picked up by Awkwafina, who did superbly as a grumpy grandpa. Kevin Hart as Danny Glover was okay - I actually chuckled a few times, - but not as funny as in the first film. I missed Jack Black as a ditsy cheerleader because his other character is completely forgettable. Karen Gillan, unlike in the Welcome to the Jungle, has little to work with. Her sole purpose here is to be hot and kick ass. I liked the action sequences (especially the monkey bridge one), but the rest was just meh. I really wish the writers found a better explanation for the characters ending up in the game again.
The actresses who played young Mia and Elena did good job imitating Kerry Washington’s and Reese Witherspoon’s mannerisms. Though KW’s face-acting looks unnatural on anyone.
