I found the movie to be passably entertaining, but I'm not sure why it's getting such high marks.
It's just another movie that pits a bad or evil character against someone who is much more repugnant than they are, so while I liked the twist, I also didn't like the movie.
Ester's reason for what she's doing is beyond my comprehension given that there are others with her condition or dwarfs who have a life, some of whom are married with children and have careers.
I'm not sure how she can defend it.
When that twist came in, this appeared and felt more like a budgeted lifetime film.
The image wasn't as fantastic or as terrifying as the first film in the series.
I think the sequel would have had a bigger impact on viewers if it had been released just a year or two after the first movie.
Although the actress may still appear to be the same person she was when she was younger, you can notice that she has aged in many of the close-up pictures.
It is obvious that they ought to have utilized a de-aging method as a result.
