There’s no real excuse for such blandness. It’s cute and well cast but I don't know what purpose this dreck serves. It can’t be an accident, given the inexplicable use of Chris McKenna on script yet again (his Spider-Man: Far From Home was similarly risk averse and corporate). It plays like an 80s TV movie, and not in a good way. You know you’re in trouble when vast amounts of screen time are taken up with car chases through San Francisco, all conveniently showing landmarks which will have been terms of the filming deal with the city. I love Paul Rudd but he’s capable of much more than this - only Michelle Pfeiffer really shines (and that’s not for long). Cassie Lang’s future as a Young Avenger is nicely telegraphed but this sequel is too long, the charm is forced and the formula sucks.
