Watchable. Clichéd. Uneven. Woke. Unbelievable. People working for who? They have no idea. But despite them wrestling with morals throughout, they have merrily killed and left a trail of destruction for a decade. I lost interest when the wife of the British defence minister wanders into the American embassy, causes mayhem, and nobody recognises her. Yet suddenly MI5 knew she was there despite her asking god knows who to hack the embassy camera system. As you'd expect, every person who would be involved in reality, strong men, is relegated to being stupid, inept, or being part of a huge body count, while the weak, woke, and diverse, run rampant with apparently self made training on weapons, infiltration, and everything else. If you want fun, fine. If you want joined up characters, and a plot beyond a cross between Bond and Alias, then avoid like the plague.

No real plot progression, no explanations of anything that happens. No hint as to where its going or what any of it could mean. Nobody really uses guns for what reason we haven't a clue, as there are a few, and a dart can penetrate their energy shields. But no, they all use knives and run around in groups like space samurai. No clue why the boy keeps thinking about the girl. And yeah, we get it, worms. Endless worms. What you have is a film an hour longer than it needs to be to tell a simplistic story that is basically setup, ambush, chase, then, well that's basically it other than confirm what we know from the "part one" in the opening titles. Yep, there will be another film. Star wars did plot development, built a story arc, and told a self contained story, in thirty minutes less. Its also hugely obvious on themes. Multiculturalism blah, climate change blah. Even blatant American Middle East imperialism, with the ships they fly even looking and sounding like apaches and black hawks. Just swap the spice for oil and you've got it. Generic, contrived, obvious,and unengaging. But hey, the music is loud.
