the fact its a musical buried this film
The only good musicals (where people start singing for no reason) that I actually love are Blues Brothers and Monty Python’s Holly Grail.
I’d watch it if it was a heavy dark drama. A musical? I think not.
The southpark movie was pretty good too
South Park and Willy Wonka would like to have a word with you
I thought this was a bad joke. Turns out, it’s the movie that’s the bad joke.
“You wouldn’t get it”
Oh… First film was great but…a musical. ffs
First film was a great film if it were new IP, but a shit joker batman film. The second film was always likely to be shit, because they were always going for abstract and avant garde artistry without a clear connection to the underlying and far stronger story and IP people are expecting. I’m sure it’s a beautiful film and musical, but it’s dog shit attached to joker.

Seriously, after the first film this is as far from what you’d expect, and want from a sequel.
I’ll definitely pass on this as well.
That they hid it was a musical is my issue. Did no one learn from the Mean Girls musical? If people get to the show and are surprised with a genre they aren’t expecting, of course the film will suffer. Additionally, people who like musicals aren’t going to attend since they aren’t being advertised to
Unexpected genre also killed Brutal Legend. The commercials advertised it as an action-adventure game, but it’s actually an RTS. Action-adventure fans hated it, and RTS fans had no idea it was an RTS until it showed up on Steam four years later.
I hate musicals, thanks for the heads up
It was announced to be a musical when it was first greenlit.
Sure, but I wasn’t paying attention to that and I think a lot of people weren’t either. The previews, while musical, seemed stylized and did not convey a strong sense that that is how the whole movie was going to be.
That explains why all the scenes in the trailer were of people singing and dancing. Welp I dont care for most musicals. Especially The Sound of Music. Hate that film.

Everyone is entitled to their own (wrong) opinions.
Not everything needs a sequel.
