Review of Bridget Jones's Baby (2016) by Brittany T — 30 Jun 2017
I don't watch these films but was outvoted when it came to watching a movie last night. The cast is very good and while I hadn't seen the original since the release and while it might be interesting to have some background information it never required it.
I think a lot of franchise films can learn something here, you can resurrect a long franchise without reinventing the wheel. Ghostbusters, Total Recall and Robocop rebooted poorly, continuing a franchise is about acknowledgement of the successful films before it and while this isn't a reboot or remake it lets someone come in fresh.
The film has a lot of humour but it overstays its welcome around the midway point. This felt like a conclusion to the series, I can't see another film coming to this franchise without ruining a lot of the good work here.
