This has gotten good reviews from the press (well, here in UK anyhoo), but less so from the 'fans'. Is there any sequel or follow up to a cult / iconic film that isn't gonna piss off the die-hard fans? Most of them will be doomed from the start (think the Prometheus effect).
Like the original, this may be a slow burner, and only garner cult status later. Bladerunner when first released did tepidly in the box office, only later, after years had bypassed it did it show its resilience in haunting people's dreams.
I do wonder what the slow burning cult films being released today will be revealed in the future as iconic to our time. Stuff like Pirates of the Caribbean or Frozen will be forgotten and cast aside as run-of-the-mill, and flicks like say, Babadook or Kingsman will become the be all and end all of our time. Noticed Halloween costumes already for The Strangers.
