 What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So this will be the spoiler free review for the wrath of Becky a.k.a. Becky 2 for anyone who wants to call it that it is the sequel to the Indie film Becky from 2020 which was a surprising W for me became one of my favorite films of the year and It is directed by Matt Angel and Suzanne Coot this sequel that being and the screenplay is also by Matt Angel as well So Matt Angel not only directed it, but he wrote the entire storyline so This is starring Lula Wilson who is returning as a titular Becky We have Sean William Scott who many of you might know from American Pie mostly and also of course from final destination the original movie so Just to dive into the synopsis This is set three years after escaping a violent attack on her family by four neo Nazis Becky who is now 16 and her dog Diego live with a kind elderly woman named Elena Connor to rebuild their lives But when a fascist organization known as the nobleman break into their home attack both Becky and Elena and Kidnap Diego Becky must take on the nobleman by Returnies are old ways to protect herself and her loved ones rescue Diego and uncover the nobleman's political attack plans before it is too late Now I will say that the wrath of Becky was another wild chaotic bloody ride with one of my new favorite orphan type characters in Becky now the sequel has a lot going for it That makes me preferred over the original but there's a couple things that make the overall quality I would say on par with the OG if not just slightly better Which I did find to be a little disappointing I was just hoping this would be a lot better than the first movie and just in general be a lot better than what it Actually ended up being but it's still a good enough movie for the most part I want to address like I did with my Fast and Furious review the the pacing because This movie is somehow shorter than the original for certain moments in between Where we spend time with our group of baddies for Becky the slaughter are just a chore to sit through a group that again calls themselves the nobleman a Group that calls himself the nobleman led by Sean Williams Scott's character I'm pretty sure they were intended to be this extreme of course for far right group similar to our last group led by Neil Nazi played by Kevin James. They're very unlikable characters and that's fine But it's possible to be unlikable and yet still interesting and compelling these folks are very dull flat Uninteresting for the most part. So I found it hard to connect with them political differences aside These nobleman were just not very well written. They're very forgettable outside of Sean Williams Scott's character You can be unlikable and again yet still very interesting They just do not have that outside of Daryl who again is played by Sean Williams Scott before I go any further on our villains Becky's life has been a revolving door foster homes and Lulu Wilson's added narration to the story I thought was a nice touch for the sequel. We know before she's now 16. She's working at a diner I believe we see at one point Becky eventually of course as you see in the synopsis settles down with a woman named Elena Renting out a space in her home. This bond was only on screen for a short bit of time But it accomplished so much too, which is one of the film's greatest strengths Elena and Becky are Aliking a lot of ways when it comes to their upbringing and the little we learn about Elena is is enough to invest in their friendship And enough to help drive the narrative when the nobleman End up effing with the wrong house Now Elena's story is also a contribution to Becky's growth Which I thought was a nice touch here as well since she herself feels isolated with nothing But grief and loss surrounding her similar to Becky and the state that we find her in In the start of the beginning of the original movie and ultimately by the end of the original movie And of course a little bit of how she's being portrayed now performance wise Great job from all parties involved Scott I would say is a solid person to portray this leader of the nobleman group Wilson continues to capture Becky's rebellious nature while also showcasing that grief that exists within the young girl Due to having to swallow a lot of hard pills at such a young age I do have to say that Jill Larson. Yes miss Deborah Logan herself Was the standout for me and she only has a few scenes I don't want to address too much about her But she was just tremendous with her delivery facial expressions and the way she was portraying and carrying herself in this role There's a lot of gore, of course I know Becky is being compared to John Wick by a few But I would like to thank her as the the sister that Kevin McAllister deserved There's a particular head explosion that was quite satisfying to witness And some other gory surprises that Becky has up her sleeve I don't want to say that the transitions here in this movie in terms of the editing are as good as the original If you are familiar with that first movie, you know that that first movie does has Does have some very clever transitioning sequence. There's those are still here, but not on par with the first movie Um by the end of it all there is some giant narrative swings It's taking leading us into a franchise of sorts And I don't know if many people will find this to be too extreme Saying they're jumping the shark, but I'm I'm on board with them fully embracing how campy This series is going to end up being if it ends up becoming more than just these two movies because they Set itself up to be a trilogy perfectly or even go beyond just a third movie by the end of this one But I think that Becky the wrath of Becky was another solid entry into this Hopefully growing series. I would give it a seven out of 10 If you haven't already, of course, make sure you go ahead and subscribe turn on post notification Video in the description. I'll have links on social media accounts.
