I'm making a very bold statement here, so if you're addicted to this movie? I kindly suggest you click off.

I'm gonna preface this by saying that I still respect the Mamma Mia franchise. The first movie was a joy to watch and the musical is probably god tier from me. It evolved into one of my main fandoms for a solid year or so, so mad respect fro giving me that.

However, the sequel to the movie... yeah. The only noteworthy thing it did was exist. And, even then, we could have very easily done without it.

Why do I say this? Why do I repeat this like a mantra a good year or two after its release?

Because, to be quite frank, it's shit. Just, in general, a bunch o' shit.

Before you say I'm being too harsh on it because I'm just a butthurt fan of the musical, I want to be civil about this movie, and I wanted to like it. But it seriously gave me no reason at all to love it like I did. I may have bashed the first movie unfairly, but that was because I'd seen the musical a day before. A DAY BEFORE. So I struggled to get accustomed to the movie.

However, the sequel doesn't fall under this innocent line of forgiveness. It doesn't at all. It can't fly under the radar that easily. Trust me, if I were to play devil's advocate here... what if this was the first movie and the first movie was the sequel? Yes, that's right.

This movie would be better as a prequel to Mamma Mia. It doesn't deserve to be considered a sequel. Remove the base of 'Donna is dead and Sophie is having a child' and we just have a movie as a pure backstory.

This movie. THIS FUCKING MOVIE.

WHAT THE FUCK.

This isn't fucking Star Wars, guys. We don't need what's essentially a prequel as the sequel that we waited TEN YEARS FOR!

From now on, I'm calling it what it is — a prequel.

This prequel is pointless. We didn't need it.

Ruby Sheridan? Who gives a shit! This is just purely reason to put the song Fernando in this movie and insert Cher in with no repercussions.

Oh look, one scene about the other girls for the ENTIRE movie and it's about Rosie finding out what baklava is.

They butchered Sam's Lorraine arc.

Oh, why did we need Angel Eyes?

What was the point of When I Kissed The Teacher?

Oh, how original. French restaurant for the song Waterloo.

I'm not done, but that's all I'm gonna say before I lose it.
