The biggest problem with those two movies is that the pacing was awful. You had exhausting fight and chase scenes followed by scenes that had way too much mumbo jumbo dialogue. Every scene could have been made shorter without losing any plot points.
Is only mumbo jumbo if you don’t understand them. I got them just fine. And the action scenes were groundbreaking, nobody else tried something like that before in Hollywood movies, it was a delight to see
I understood them all just fine… Still poor pacing. The first movie was basically half buildup for the second half’s continuous action. Two and three both suffered from the abrupt slow down after the action scenes that I personally feel never really got “better.”
I mean, I’ve got them all so I’m not going to pretend they’re as bad as other movies that we pretend didn’t get sequels but they just worse than the first one.
That said, I would regularly rewatch a cut that was just all the action scenes.
