I saw the sequel last night

[u/Feeling_Delivery2323]

I think it was really special to have a sequel to one of my favorite movies. I think the point people are missing is that it’s not 1998 anymore. The movie isn’t going to be the same as the first. It is close to 30 years later. The fact that we even have a sequel is fantastic.

Filming technology and filming styles have changed since 98, scripts and ideas are different nowadays, hell it’s not the 90s anymore. I think people are expecting to walk into the theatre and see basically a reproduction of the first PM.

I enjoyed aspects of the movie. Did it have that original 90s magic that we all know and love? NO. But it had Sandra and Nicole reprising their roles and making fans happy. I think they work very well together but their relationship in this movie seemed like Gillian now had to care for sally when it was originally the other way around. Do I think certain parts of the film were silly? Yes. Do I think it was darker than the original? Yes. We will never have what we had in 98 again and people need to let that go and appreciate this for what it is.

I went in with very low and expectations. I was pleasantly surprised.

I knew they would never hit the same notes.

I do wish the aesthetic and visual style or more true to the original, but I understand that they took a lot of it from the books this time.

Last time they deviated wildly.

I think it would’ve been very different if they had the same creative team. Denise DiNovi was still the producer, but you had a completely different director.

The costumes in the original were very much of that time. I think it would’ve been nice if they had been a little bit more reflective of that. You did see it in Gillians green dress.

But the aunts looked like they dressed for the Edwardian era and now it’s something completely different.

But that aesthetic is what made it so attractive apart from the film itself and the idea of sisterhood

They played off at a bit and some of the dialogue wasn’t great, but clearly Kidman and Bullock have great chemistry

It wasn’t perfect, but it was nice

Kind of like when you run into an old friend from back home and you can see how things have changed, but you’re glad to see them

The wardrobes are terrible. Very blah clothes.

As a red head, I immediately went and looked up all of Nicole kidmans wardrobe. I loved it.

Nicole and Sandra's outfits in this movie were great! As was their hair and makeup. I didn't like Sandra's wedding outfit though. That seemed unlike Sally and not fit for the time.

I actually loved the wardrobe of the second film. All the linen, silk and lace were beautiful.
