Good Burger 2

Feels like this one thought it was kel being dumb that made people like the first so they just dialed that to 10 and ignored the story. Kel reprogramming the bots to save the day was lazy writing which is a good summary for this one. Everything bright and fun about the first was replaced with diversity checklists instead. Not even Kirk could come back, instead they got some random fat chick to play his sister with weak motivations. It's sad they manage to butcher even the easiest source material, not to mention they waited too long. Seeing middle aged Keenan and kel just made me feel older than I already do.

'Good Burger 2' follows the return of Ed and Dexter as they reunite to help save the iconic and much loved fast-food restaurant, 'Good Burger' from falling into the wrong hands. Also introducing a new generation of employees. Going into this movie, I made sure to keep my expectations tame. At the end of the day it is a reboot/sequel, that typically are either hit or miss. However, I was intrigued by nostalgia. But I must say... This film is a big MISS. Firstly, there are the odd moments sprinkled throughout the film that pay homage to the original. Which I did appreciate having grown up with the first movie. However, I didn't really enjoy myself whilst watching. The film suffers as it's overloaded with too much modern day pop culture references and a mediocre plot. There are a few story elements included in this movie that I find myself either irritated by, or just don't understand the reason to include such themes. For example, Ed's children. There's like 8 of them, and one just so happens to be an exact copy and paste of Ed. Overly dumbed down with a raspy voice. I found this to be a rather annoying inclusion. Another pet peeve of this film, is the random inclusion of celebrity cameos. There is a whole montage of self-recorded footage of random celebrities singing about Good Burger? This movie also had mini random musical sequences that came out of nowhere. The new characters in this film also serve little to no purpose. Perhaps one of the more uninteresting parts of this movie. Which is sad, as I would've hoped to have left the film having enjoyed some of the fresh choices they introduced. To conclude, I severely wasted my time watching 'Good Burger 2' if you're intrigued in the slightest. Just rewatch the first. Save yourself the headache.

This movie was pretty good, I dont know why people are saying "its not as good as the first one". Well duhh! No one expected it to be better than the first. Its fun, got a few laughs, and it does a good job at trying to capture the innocence of the first one. No its not completely original, the storyline is pretty similar to the first but its a good thing that they tried to stay on brand. Can you imagine how mad the fans would be if they completely flipped the script? They also had a few cameos from actors that were in the first film as well as some familiar faces from Saturday Night Live. Enjoy the movie, dont think too hard, have a laugh with your old pals.
