So disappointing. ever since they announced they're making the sequel a musical i was worried it may flop. but i still had some faith in todd philips and joaquin phoenix. unfortunately, it was a big disaster. some musical scenes are okay some feel out of place and add no meaning. but my problem was the story its basically non existent nothing happens at all. its just goes back and forth from prison to courtroom. the first part was best as a standalone film. it didnt leave anything behind to continue and they knew it as well hence the musical arc. only positives were the cinematography and acting of course.
