Don’t understand the critical hate for the film. It’s pretty good. Don’t understand why it under performed either.

Thank you for your fine review. I’ll pick this up later this year during Black Friday sales.

Evil Dead Rise did more box office than this turkey (both domestic AND international).

As Todd touched on, I think recent changes in leadership at DC/Warner made this movie largely irrelevant in the "grand scheme" re-imagining of the DC Universe, so many people decided to skip it.

I'll likely see this at some point, but may wait for streaming or cable. As I wasn't a big fan of the first, I don't think I need to own this.

I loved this film and to me the sequel was as good as the first film, however, if the first film wasn't to your tastes this is unlikely to change your mind.

Picked this up on iTunes on sale. Will be screening later this week.

I enjoyed the film and the cameo. My only criticism is that I would have trimmed it a bit. Seems like this just got dumbed by Warner DC once a new direction was decided on by the studio. It's sad, really, because they could have had a very successful film if they had pushed this as hard as the first film. Perhaps the release date had something to do with that as well-if it had been held off till Summer rather than burned off in March, it might have done better. John Wick III coming right after this certainly hit much of the same audience.

A new favorite of mine. I haven't had this much fun watching a super hero film since probably the first GOTG...and that was years ago. So much heart, and lots of fun. This is exactly what I love about comic book films. I enjoyed it much more than the first film.
