Escape Room: Tournament of Champions

Oddly satisfying sequel to something I wouldn't have expected a sequel for!

I liked the first and this had some promise to it. From the get-go, the anxiety in my body was on fight or flight, and it only got better. That hotel room scene was terrifying and showed the levels of trauma they suffered. Somehow after that, it was a downward spiral into a sinking sandpit. It didn't make sense how the 'champions' were all hushed together, especially in such a busy train station but I let it off. I can't name every mistake but there's a crab load of them. Certain characters didn't have to die, it amazes me that they're even champions. The main section that did it for me though was the extremely rushed and unexplained ending. It's asking for a sequel but I doubt we'll get it.

8/10

Depends on the version you watched but still a solid, fun time, much like the first. Inferior to the first, but the traps are still cool, and the set pieces are still great. Taylor Russell is also more badass this time around. 6/10

Very good thriller
