I didn't like the first one very much, but watched the second one anyway (my fault I guess!) I hoped it would be better but is dumb, too long (over 2 hours!) and very predictable. There was also possibly the cringiest sentence ever uttered in a romcom EVER! I'll probably still watch the 3rd one when it comes out, but only because I really hope Elle and Lee will FINAL realise how PERFECT they together as they have the best chemistry by far.

Honestly cannot understand all the high praise for this confused, overlong, juvenile waste of time.
The jokes are silly and overplayed, the effects are equal to a scooby-doo or goosebumps flick and the overall product seems to have no idea what it's trying to be. It has a plot and humour that seems to be aimed at a younger audience but the viloence/scares and profanity seem aimed at an older audience. The only people I can see actually enjoying this are middle aged fanboys reliving their childhood comic book fantasies.
I'd give it a miss if you have any taste/sense of humour over that of a 9 year old.
