Ready or Not 2: Here I Come review
There’s even more screaming, running, swearing and exploding rich people in a follow-up to the 2019 sleeper hit that expands mythology we didn’t need expanded
TL;DR
- The sequel, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, picks up immediately after the events of the first film.
- The plot expands to involve a global battle for supremacy among Satanic families, with Grace as the target.
- The film features an increased budget, leading to more inventive gore, but is criticized for a convoluted mythology.
- It shifts towards an action-comedy tone, resembling a John Wick or MCU-level plot, rather than horror.
- Character development is lacking, with dialogue compared to video game characters and protagonists described as loud but ineffective.
- The film's messaging about wealthy people and its influences are considered overused.
- Despite attempts at emotional investment, the film is seen as prioritizing imagery and spectacle over relatable characters.
