A confusion made me have to pay twice the price of the tickets cos we mistakenly bought the movie tickets twice! hahaa... :P with that accident, i went in the cinema with a higher expectation than what i came with trying to justify paying RM16 for a non-3D movie!
The movie starts off nostalgically.... trying to accommodate even the ones who came to watch that don't have a clue what this 'Sex and the City' is all about at all.... a little recap can go a long way.. :P
The plot was not surprising, yet didn't bore me. The outfits, was as always, outrageous as ever. The girls are trying to defy getting older, like they always try to. Marriage conflicts though were dealt with more in this installment as 3 of the girls are already married now. In Abu Dhabi, where most of the film was shot, issues relating to oppression of sexual freedom and women as second class are seen and handled with a comic twist, yet still feels very serious and the message was clearly send across, to me atleast. Some motherhood troubles are at bay, and girl to girl talk always saves the day. Lots of homosexuality was also present and got me thinking whether it has anything to do with recent same-sex marriage recognition in the US these last few months.....
I love the soundtrack that sounds fresh and new with a few top pop chart numbers that got me singing along. The locations where the movie was shot were simply breathtakingly beautiful. It is indeed 'The New Middle East' :P
All in all, i would say that it was not disappointing, yet not a letdown. After all, since when did a sequel ever surpass the original anyway??? Especially since this one was originally a 5 season drama~~
p.s- i'll post all the quickie reviews of all the movies i saw in between this and the last review in a while.... hehee :P
