      Keith H It only gets 5 stars because Godzilla's in it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Always Sunset on Third Street 2 offers more of what made the first one so damn wholesome, at times much more bittersweet, it retains the goodwill and warmth of its predecessor. Still just as unabashedly nostalgic and touching, Always 2 is exceptionally self-indulgent, very saccharine and perhaps a bit overlong, but it's also an excellent example of an emotionally satisfying drama with likeable characters and a wonderful sense of place and time. One that doesn't fail to get the tears welling, making for a feel-good film with loads of laughs. Extremely refreshing and just the tonic in these austere and pessimistic times. It shines bright. Although you just know every Godzilla fan has seen the opening 2-minutes of this and then nothing further, a huge injustice if there ever was one. However, you can certainly see why Yamazaki was chosen to helm the latest outing for the Big G with this sequence... I can't wait. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A warm story with a great set. Brings back fond memories of childhood... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This part still made me laugh and cry :'-) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It supposed to be a good sequel, yes it is, but the story isn't captivating as the previous one. And I felt the movie was too long. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member best of the the three Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
