I forgot I had already watched it, and as I was watching the movie I could remember how I didn't enjoy it so I was waiting for something to bother me but it never came. Now I know it's because had watched the prequel and the movie back to back. I was able to enjoy the movie on its own this time because I had forgotten it. Watching the movie after the prequel is very frustrating. For instance I remember finding the little girl VERY annoying the first watch, but this time she was just a normal kid and even a sweet kid most of the movie. Imo many of the bad reviews are from people who watched the prequel first.
