Even though they kept all the characters from the first film, I’d say changes were definitely made. Aesthetically, the ante was upped; I can confidently call the scene in the woods the coolest thing I’d seen in a really long time. Opting not to mail it in like the Hangover II, Ritchie slowed the pace of the film, increased the humor (or lowered its quality), and made it easier to take in one sitting. The first installment was quick, complex, and mumbled (forgive my American ear), making it hard to follow. Though, the adjustments may have dumbed it down, it made the film far more enjoyable… they don’t call it a formula for nothing.
Verdict: I don’t regret it (full price)
