That scene was hilarious and wholesome af. They basically made the "he IS the Messiah!" Meme in the middle of a hard sci-fi movie. And it fucking worked.
Other studios envy them for sure. Hollywood feels a lot of nostalgia for the 2019 box office year, they probably have lots of anxiety that audiences won't go back to theaters. It's an embarrassment that they haven't been able to entice people back to cinemas, so the studios will do anything to keep these feeling of ennui at bay.
Wow, was it that good? I thought the reviews were that it was alright, but not as good as the first one. Or was I mistaken? Or was I right, but they just found a good spot where no other real good movies were out?
Without trying to spoil much. There is definitely some overlap in reusing some of the structure of the first movie and disney playing it safe, but the themes it hits on, hit really hard, I would imagine even more so for some adults.
I thought it was on par with the first. Very good imo. Without spoilers I can say they depicted some challenging emotions very well. My family is filled with anxiety, so much that pretty much everyone is on some form of medication. Needless to say, this movie resonated well with my family.
