A magical, sorely needed beacon of hope in this year."

Bui wasn’t the only one to comment on the film’s running time.

(The film reportedly runs 151 minutes, about 10 minutes longer than its predecessor.)

Several observers singled out the performances ofPedro PascalandKristen Wiig as villains Maxwell Lord and Cheetah, respectively for praise.

“Pascal goes ALL IN on a wild portrayal of Max Lord, a conflicted but vile villain.

Wiig’s Cheetah evolution throughout the movie is heartbreaking yet epic.”
