Every sequel has to be bigger than the last, that’s how hollyweird does it. We already saw Superman stoic ass become a traitor and yet another nuclear threat and throw in some cool helicopter scenes and boom.
I wish the bad guys won when they tricked tricked dude in the beginning for the password and increase the stakes. Tom’s character would’ve been darker and that would have been the step to go. But it was false....
Sometimes they go backwards tho. Any time the Bond franchise goes too big they come back to earth.
