Amanda and Elyot are super toxic.

Brendan Fraser’s hulking physicality was sometimes distracting as Ike but Damien Lewis’ vainglorious Monty stole the picture.

If you’re going to movie from small screen to big, you better have a story worthy of it. Or anything in the plot to care about.

All the returning characters/actors are terrific and fun to hang out with.

But. 

This feels like the AVENGERS: ENDGAME problem where a dour and depressive layer is draped over something meant to be fun and escapist. Like, cool, I get it, but that’s not why I’m in the theater. 

Andy’s romance was totally tacked on and boring and unnecessary to the plot and those minutes could have been given to more time with Emily.
