Watched last night… I ain’t even seen Ride Along 1 yet… did the same thing with Guardians of The Galaxy, which didn’t spoil my viewing pleasure in the slightest.

A cult classic. Retroactivelly it is fun and a real riot. The sets are charming post WW 2 era , the acting charmingly filled with frozen bits, taking sudden fractured discontuinity for a ride, as if all emotion results from series of afterthoughts.
Some animated entertainment, on a mid-Covid19 May Saturday early-afternoon… I recall seeing this film before, but it was such a long time ago, that it was like I never had, but it’s always the ending that becomes familiar and gives it away that you did…

Horror genre.
Critics rated it around a B-, but I felt that it was a designation for popular attraction.
Conceptually, I would rate it A+ and at least one critic rated it likewise.
It just that it is difficult mixing popular faire with conceptual soundness, and still not end up with a failing grade. The fact that it came out with a B, says a lot for a terrific script, with double minuses for muted horror kicks.
Not as good as its prequels 1 and 2, but a good watch none-the-less if you’re a major fan of the JC franchise… that guy’s a right c*nt… talk about taking no prisoners alive.
Wasn’t scary in the slightest, so I won’t be losing any sleep from nightmares, like I did with 1 and 2.
A sergeant and his task force embark on a mission to destroy the Creeper on its last day of feeding. The Creeper soon fights back when they get close to discovering its mysterious and dark origins.
