Agree. My wife actually thought about walking out.
Its funny, a facebook friend reviewed it thus, "I'd rather pick up my dogs shit for 2 and 1/2 straight hours than watch that again".
So, I went in with low expectations.
I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised.
I enjoyed it quite a bit.
The 80s silliness and jokes were overdone in the beginning but once they got past overdoing it, it was probably less annoying to people.
The female antagonist (Kristen Wiig) was really good until the "second wish".
And the main baddie...was silly.
And, the bad guys often define how the movie is received and...its a kind of realistic depiction of a shitty person.
And, the "World going crazy" was...I don't understand how it happened.
But despite that, as I said, I liked the movie. It wasn't great, it wasn't awful.
In all honesty, the first WW was, just about at the same eye roll level as this one.
Crappy bad guy, hit you over the head with the message, a lot of "Women Power" (which in this one turned into "Women can be vulnerable AND strong".

I don’t regret seeing it. IMO, in this day and age of movie making, and a big budget, it’s just inexcusable to not at least equal the predecessor in terms of quality. This wasn’t even close. The story and timeline were not going to work for everyone but it’s still just a loose mess with subpar and distracting cgi. I guess I’d say it wasn’t a story worth telling, although it’s one redeeming quality is it’s overall “message” still resonated.
