Overall, the series never had much weight but the second one was always praised because, like the transition from “Assassin’s Creed” to “Assassin’s Creed II” in video games, they listened to fans to fix the tone and all. Personally, I think “The Hunger Games” would have been more successful if it hadn’t tried to be so bland. A lot of the writing felt like it was taken from other sources, not just “Battle Royale”. I have to say thank you for praising “Back to the Future Part II”. The sequels have never been particularly praised but I feel that Part II and Part III were made with a love of filmmaking and creativity, especially with Zemeckis who is a master of the visual medium. He likes to let himself run amok sometimes but when he’s on, he keeps you interested. Not to mention the split screen techniques used to have Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd talking to themselves or be in the same scene as each other is still pretty mind-blowing, especially how it’s utilized in the story. In a lot of ways, while being simpler and fun, it’s what “Primer” did years later. The continuing misuse of time travel and how it sort of folds over on itself. That’s just my thought anyway.
