I went to see the movie yesterday. It was one of the best sequels I've ever seen. The alternating POVs were interesting and the acting was superb, especially by Blunt, Murphy, and Simmonds. But it still didn't answer the one question I wanted answered: where the creatures came from. A sequel wasn't necessary, since the characters already knew how to kill the aliens. I expected closure from the movie and didn't get any, although seeing some background on the town before the invasion was nice. But the movie ended too abruptly, without a good resolution. It seemed an obvious setup to a part 3. Due to the lack of development of the storyline, I think I would pass on seeing a Part 3. But if you see it, see it in the theater. It's worth the money for the visuals and the sound effects (orlack thereof.)

The show, though unoriginal, was fun, and I'm a Christina Hendricks fan. However, I agree with other viewers that it really went downhill during season 3. The women repeated the same mistakes and the episodes became repetitious. It was as if the writers were on vacation the whole time. I suspect it will be one of those "surprise" COVID cancellations. I won't miss it, but it's too bad. It had potential to be a lot better.

The movie is proof that there's something for every taste and this wasn't mine. My taste in movies is wide ranging, I enjoyed Adam Sandler's comedy a lot back in the day and I'm a fan of most everything except romance. But this one was annoying to me from moment one. The 20 minutes I saw consisted of people yelling, cursing, and talking over each other nonstop with a loud irritating music score overlapping that. My wife and I both said enough and turned it off 20 minutes later.
