I have, if it were possible, less-than-zero interest in the sequel. Right from the start when I heard that neither Del Toro nor Ramin Djawadi were involved, I had concerns. When the trailers came out, I just saw nothing of appeal in them.
And it's weird! I mean, I like Boyega. I've loved his performances so far in the likes of Attack the Block and the new Star Wars movies. That was a big draw. Even so, it just didn't appeal to me.
I know what they've done. The first film, though it has some die-hard fans like myself, was not particularly successful in domestic markets. It only got a sequel because it was an unexpected super-hit in China. They obviously realised that primarily appealing to the existing fanbase wasn't the way to go, and made a grab for a wider audience. I don't resent them for that; however, they can have other people's money but they aren't getting mine. I'll watch it on Netflix in 2-3 years' time.
