It’s not as inspired as the first…the script is mediocre in comparison and while Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith do their able best to sell it, the supporting cast is forgettable at best (Except Tony Shalhoub, who appears all too briefly).
If you haven’t seen the first, I’d recommend seeing it. If you don’t plan on seeing the third, this is optional but not necessary. If you do plan on seeing the third, this is good enough to watch once as a warm-up.
