Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Also, it is easy to predict a worse critical reception for this movie than the first. The movie is such that if you didn't like the first one then I think it is practically impossible that you'll like this one.

So, 45% of the "cream of the crop" critics at RT didn't like the first one. I'm pretty sure those 45% also won't like this one. Some percentage of the remaining 65% is going to have liked the first one but not the second one so the numbers are doomed to go down. That pretty much guarantees a "rotten" rating among the Cream of the Crop critics. So far the drop-off in the overall number is much lower than the drop-off among the top critics.
