June 9Jun 9 plot was dumb and gimmicky but i enjoyed the scenes with just the two of them. Bernthal is incredibly charismatic.
June 9Jun 9 Ya'll are fucking nuts, this was very entertaining and I might have liked more than the first overall. Mainly due to the brothers being brothers for most of the movie. I think Affleck was even better in this one. But whatever...I hope there's a 3rd.

I was entertained but not like I was with the 1st one. We did the exact same thing, and it reminded us of how excellent the first one was. But we gave 2 a lot more than a "meh" especially after about midway through. Edited June 9Jun 9 by MirrOlure

I did a rewatch of the first immediately before watching this one on Saturday and the difference is jarring. The way he depicted someone with ASD in the first was nuanced and believable. He went full-on caricature in the second movie. The Justine twist at the end of the first one was great, but the army of kids on computers in this one felt like pandering.

June 9Jun 9 i mean when he was doing his puppy pep talk in his towel i may or may not have actually exclaimed 'jesus he's ripped!' Edited June 9Jun 9 by mchookem
June 11Jun 11 Yeah. Not great. Not horribad. Berenthal carried it but Ben this time was not great. B-
June 11Jun 11 I laughed throughout the movie mainly at how all over the place the plot , tone, and action was. It didn’t feel like they knew what movie they wanted it to be and advertised it based on the brothers, but then cut it like a mix between the fist Accountant and the expendables.
June 11Jun 11 What a let down. Boring, except for the first scene with old man J.K. Simmons kicking ass after taking a death blow to the head on the urinal.

I took some advice from this thread and watched the first one. I enjoyed both films. It was cool to see how it started and how Affleck portrayed his character in the first film. The nuance about how he talked different in the 2nd film does not matter one bit. The things explored in both movies about autism were pretty interesting to me. I do not see a whole bunch of characters in movies that I can relate to, but this is for sure one that really hits home.
June 19Jun 19 I thought the second one was dogshit. Can’t believe they fucked it up that bad. None of it was good
