RT's critic score of 29% vs. the audience score of 72% probably says a lot about this film.
Hopefully, it's a "One for them, one for me" situation for Ben Wheatley, and his next film will be more like his usual fare.

Not bad but not what the first one was. I think its just the newness of the first one helped but part 2 just doesn't seem to have the same heart. I can't say any given part is bad it just has a slightly different feel to it. Just as a heads up if its not obvious you have to suspend your disbelief a ton for this movie. That's not a bad thing just don't expect much logic. 6/10
