The way they'd literally show a brief clip of the first movie every time there was a callback was the dumbest shit ever though. Has any other movie done that? Please don't let this become a new trend
I enjoyed it. It was totally ridiculous and felt like a typical 80s/90s sequel where they take whatever was good about the first and dial it up ten-fold making for a much more forced and lesser quality movie; however, I enjoyed revisiting the HG universe and had fun with absurdity of it all. I would even happily watch it again.
