As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
