    I liked how the background in Gwen’s world changed to match character emotions. I think it was a clever use of animation and art style to convey the mood and tone of the story.

    Just came back from the theater. It’s amazing! The visuals and storytelling are great. I appreciate how it’s been well thought-out like the first movie— probably even more.

    Shout-out to the random dude who yelled, “Come on!” at the end credits lol.

    (Technically not a spoiler but if you want to go into the movie blind…)

    Sorta felt the same way they did when it said, “to be continued.” But I can’t really complain that there’s more to come.

      it’s weird because at some point the movie WAS called part 1 but I guess it got removed at some point? so my expectations were in check. i think they should have kept it. but I also am happy they didn’t at the same time: really felt like I got to experience a retread of the empire strikes back

        I loved the movie but had no idea that this was going to be a multi part event. So when that To Be Continued hit I was a little taken back. Then realized down the road I am going to get another 2 HOURS of this fantastic story.
