I like the first episode a lot and have seen it three times. It's a very funny spy family action comedy with a perfect Dave Bautista and a good Chloe Coleman. But the charm of the first one is gone and the second one is actually completely pointless, with humour that has gone very much to the side, very mediocre action, and very little of it, and the plot couldn’t be any more generic. The only things I liked are the nice setting of Italy and Chloe Coleman, who is growing into a great actress (here she even handles the action herself, so I wonder if she will be an action heroine in the future). Shame, I was looking forward to it. 5/10.

Nice setting, a decent Guy Pearce and the nice bloody carnage (blood spurts surprisingly in a big way) at the end are the upsides. The downsides are the rather slow pace and the not very engaging story, but for one viewing it's fine. 55%

I went to see the new release of the week in theaters yesterday which is kind of being seen as a sequel to the 90's film Twister and it's not bad, but it didn't completely blow me away unfortunately. It was nice to see Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar Jones, who plays the sort of intelligent woman who figures everything out. Visually it's decent, I liked that it keeps things down to earth and there are no overblown CGI attractions or destruction, it's quite realistic, but there's not a lot of action and it could have been presented more impressively (there aren’t many buildings flying off, the body-count isn't high, either, and I expected the atmosphere to be a bit more unpleasant and intense). For me there were a few deaf spots, it doesn't have a very adrenaline pace and I wouldn't watch the film again, or I wouldn't mind at all if I kept the film until I got home, it wouldn't change the experience. Passable average and a plus for the fact that disaster movies don't come around much anymore, but maybe it's not my cup of tea. 6/10.
