Honestly, I didn't expect to love it as much as I loved the first part and went into it thinking:"Ah, I bet this won't be as good as the first one." But really - I think it was pretty much just as good. It was - similar. I even liked the callbacks to the originals, the scene that was the same, but the outcome was different. It was clever. Sure, they used some famous people like Elton John purely because they can do that now with the first part having been successful, but I don't really mind.
I was skeptical about them bringing Harry (Colin Firth) back and how they would do it, but I think plot-wise it was just plausible enough and didn't feel like a huge cop-out. And really, the film doesn't hold very well without him. He is just an amazing actor. Julianne Moore was really great too.
Fun, enjoyable watching, the plot was pretty cool too, it had some tropes, some things you could expect, but it was a fairly clever jab at the US president at least.
