The people who made this movie didnโt watch the first one. And didnโt know what it was about. And didnโt really know what this one was about.
The only similarity is the color palette.
I guess J is on trial and everyone is singing. Some of it is imaginary, so you expect other parts to be imagined which arenโt.
Thereโs lots of reminding the audience what happened in the first movie which is interrupted by some interpretive song and dance.
They talk about things that happened in between 1 and 2 but donโt show us flashbacks or anything. When there are flashbacks they were from the last movie.
Honestly, pretty let down. Enough to write all this, which is sayinโ a lot.
Totally get why people didnโt like it. Iโm not even done watching.
