More serious reply. It’s kinda cool you watched the “bad sequel” first. I love/hate this movie. There’s some great set pieces and story bits, like the fact that Snake is given a set of tools in Act 1 and we actually see him use everything. Screenwriting 101 done beautifully. When he uses the match to light an illegal cigarette and walks away like a boss, I cheered.
I’ll be curious if you find …New York to be boring, because then you’ll see that …LA is a beat for beat remake.
