Inside Out 2

Teenager Riley's mind headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions!

    inside out again
    This year has been incredibly lackluster when it comes to movies. And I'd like to say I really enjoyed the first inside out. Similar to its theme it was a perfect blend of emotions all come together. Inside out 2 was almost the exact same but just not as good.

    First off this movie makes the first one feel almost obsolete. The whole message of the first one was rhat you needed all the emotions and that all the memories are important. But this movie starts with joy TOSSING AWAY ALL THE BAD MEMORIES???????? I am glad that disgust, fear and anger got a bit more screen time but fear was so annoying. If anything this movie felt just like the first one but worse. 4/10.

    Movie magic at its finest
    I liked the first Inside Out, but I thought it had some flaws. These were ironed out in the second installment, and the end result left me quite satisfied.

    The initial idea of "puberty hits" with all its consequences is hilarious; the new emotions are spot-on (I'm really petitioning for an Inside Out 3 with an old Riley - Nostalgia had too little screen time!)

    Envy was under-used, but the cellphone addicted Ennui was the perfect portrait of every modern teenager. Anxiety's twitches were beautifully rendered on-screen too.

    Side note: the acting during Riley's panic attack is Oscar worthy. The girl has some serious acting chops! ...oh wait, she's just a CGI character. Can we add a new Academy award for these? Because if this is the trend, they'll soon outclass real life actors.

    After the movie it was fun to ask friends and family what emotion they most identified with (I'm Embarrassment, in case you're wondering - that big softie :-) ).
