Also, one more thing I think I should add. This movie didn’t seem “tacked on” to the original, which was a big fear I had going in. There are some who disagree, but to me this made the first movie (which I’d initially felt had come to a nice, comfortable conclusion) now feel more like just the beginning to a more complex story.
