I like to think of myself as a storyteller. Mostly I tell stories about knitting.

This movie was well-cast, had great special effects and the script wasn’t bad. I expected explosions, fights, and a decent plot and I got all three. It delivered more than most sequels.
My only real complaint is that Ryan Hansen (you might remember him as Candy Andy from 2 Broke Girls) didn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the team. With a plane full of soldiers, it felt like a game of “one of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn’t the same”. But he was really only in one or two scenes, so that wasn’t a big deal.


There was a little thing going on between Jaye and Flint and I wish there had been a little more of that. Maybe they were worried about running long as it was already 110 minutes. or maybe there’s another sequel in the pipeline.
In other news, there’s a sequence near the beginning where Flint seems to be doing Parkour, so I had to look it up and see if he’s a gymnast, looks like no, but his stunt double, Albert Valladares, on the other hand, is a different story. very cool.


Oh, and the soundtrack didn’t suck.

Ps. Work continues on the striped sock.
