Personally, I thought it was just as enjoyable and amazing as the first! And that's quite a movie to live up to, honestly. Jam packed with laughs, fun to watch action scenes, and more great music. Don't skip out on this sequel if you liked its predecessor!
Not a masterpiece by any means, but a film with interesting characters, a great soundtrack, and fun fight scenes that were lead by imaginative weaponry. Though flawed and lacking in some departments, it made up for it in others. This movie is a fun couple of hours that I'd watch again. Movies don't need to be formulaic art to be entertaining and enjoyable. ♡
Contrary to what KuroSawWhat said, this movie actually DID make me run out to grab a copy of Ender's Game and I love that I'm getting a deeper look into the characters and plot that I became quite enamored with in the film. For someone who had not read the book beforehand (sacrilege, I know) I found the movie easy to follow, incredibly intriguing, and I was blown away by the cinematography! I felt I got a good grasp of the characters and basic plot, but I'm glad I'm expanding my knowledge on said things by reading the actual novel. Movies aren't supposed to be exact copies of the books. (Actually movies and books can never equal each other for they are completely different art forms with different insights and expression.) Regardless, as soon as authors hand over the rights to their story, it is the director's job to make it something that reflects the original story and yet make it their own. If it was exactly like the book, including characters being able to fully develop (hard to do in any one movie), there would have been no need for someone such as me to rush to the bookstore for a copy. They would have gotten everything they needed out of the film. That would be awful. Needless to say, I loved the movie and am flying through the wonderful book!! I proudly celebrate the similarities and differences between both forms of this story. :)

Beautiful, inspirational, and thought-provoking. A brilliant film that crept into my heart and has become one of my favorites.
