I didn’t really care for the first one. This sequel is just another cash grab.

I hope its good, but I know it won’t be.
Keaton will probably still do a good job as the main character.

Wonder if they will manage to slip in the “F” word as they did back in 1988. Lots of kids in the audience back then.

Holly Wood, completely devoid of new ideas since the 1980s.

They are utterly out of ideas. Reaching back 35+ years for a cash grab sequel is just pitiful. Did they run out of franchises to ruin?

I wish them luck. Quite a challenge to do a sequel of that great movie. Keaton was great and I am sure he will do his thing just fine. No Otho as the actor died many years ago.

Keaton is now working for retirement money.

He’s doing his Batman in the new Flash movie.
