Rating: 8 out of 10, This is a literal
continuation of the same plot from the first movie with just enough change
thrown in to keep it fresh. The Rock is back but is inhabited by a senior
citizen this time instead of a hormone plagued teenage boy. Both the Rock and
his pint sized buddy Kevin Hart are dominated by Karen Gillan who returns as
Ruby Roundhouse. She and newcomer Akwafina provide the needed life into the
group as the Rock and Hart deal with senior citizen issues, which, considering
my age, shouldn’t be dismissed so blithely. This time out the avatars are
trying to chase down Sandor Clegane who’s stolen an important jewel. The
characters are easy to invest in and this is a nice, familiar ride that’s worth
the watch for the stunts involved and the likable actors running through their
paces.
MVP: Gillan as Ruby Roundhouse
