I decided to comment since it seems as though all the comments are purely negative. I wasn't sure how well this movie would do without the support of powerhouse Ryan Reynolds, but I enjoyed it. I'm quite fascinated by the lore and would love to see more movies taking place in different time periods. People are saying to avoid this movie, but I say watch it. It was fun and humorous and I think it deserves a watch.

I was something curious to know the story [spoiler] about Roy's origin [/spoiler] but everything was so bad executed that feels like a movie that is trying to rip-off the RIPD rather than a movie which belongs to the same universe as the first one. Several things bothered me, the stupid way they did the exposition to explain RIPD and the villain's plans was one of them but nothing was worse than [spoiler] the acting, which I'll kindly call amateurish, by the actress who played Roy in his human form and [/spoiler] the director's decision to KEEP this [spoiler]horrendous performance[/spoiler] IN THE FILM. let me explain: [spoiler]it's established that Roy is an expert marksman and that he knows very well what he's doing... so why when he's shown in his new human form, he doesn't seem to know how to handle a revolver and doesn't even know where is the holster?! there are two scenes where he appears unable to put his own revolver (which he even named it) in his own holster! TWO SCENES where he looks like an idiot learning to handle a revolver.[/spoiler] Another thing that I think was lost was the creative and interesting [spoiler]designs of the dead[/spoiler]. in the first movie we had all kinds of [spoiler]monstrosities[/spoiler] and in this movie it was just [spoiler]"black smoke with tentacles"[/spoiler]. bad movie, don't waste your time watching it.

Not only is this is piece of crap to start with but it didn't take more than ten or so minutes before the far left Hollywood hacks threw in woke bullshit that completely ruined the movie. Even if you tried to filter out that crap the movie is rubbish. Poor acting, juvenile script and jokes. A shame since the first one was not too bad.

As has been mentioned in other comments, this film doesn't have the same enjoyable qualities as the first movie. The camaraderie between the two leads just isn't as good as Bridges and Reynolds. The storyline isn't _that_ bad, it's just been done before. A lot!

had to turn it off, it was dreadful
