Fans of the original and new-comers should be more than satisfied by this continuation with more than a few twists on the older story and the characters that still feel like old friends.
The progeny of the main characters from the first one is a major character but Ginger remains the protagonist and with rich nuances on the character we thought we knew making this a delight that was not just processed out.
All the expected delights are there with the same visual wit, rapid fire pop culture references and astonishing set pieces.
There is much more of the James Bond/ Science fiction approach to contrast with the Concentration Camp/ Great Escape vibe of the first film and I like how they use futuristic technology but with an analogue interphase as if it were made in the '80s though this is very au-courant. I guess I'd call it "dial-punk".
And no, it is not vegan propaganda.
I saw this on Boxing day while my family all watched the football and I so wish I had watched it with people but I do not wish I hadn't watched it.
