I've shouldn't have watched it
30 January 2018 | by info-15295See all my reviews

IMHO first movie was everything: Interesting, clever, intriguing, intelligent, captivating, just continue with superlatives... Heck, I registered here just to be able to rate it, and I've praised it to my friends. Most of them liked it as well. I was thrilled when I've heard about this sequel and I was eager to watch it. Now I would like to un-watch it, because it was completely unnecessary, it actually destroyed mystique of first movie.
