Watch these amazing trailers and you'll be just itchin' to see this movie!
Then read these reviews from Wikipedia and perhaps you'll decide to just wait for the itch to go away . . .
The general consensus among IMDB users is that the first one (which I hated) was better than this one (oh Lord . . . ) and that this one was one of the worse movies ever made.
And yet . . . the premise sounds interesting and the trailers look awesome!
________________________________
Released on 16th January in Helsinki Finland first reviews were not very kind. Pekka Ruissalo via Iltamakasiini ran with an article that did a round up of from media critics. [15]
Translated from Finnish:
"'Very terribly bad movie' - Iron Sky: The coming race got a full hit from critics."
Within the article were comments from critics such as,
"The sequel does not entertain or make you laugh. Not for a minute." Juho Typpö from Helsingin Sanomat.
"...does not even get the basics like characters that go into a captivating level of interest." Jari Tapani Peltonen from V2.
"...the abundance of details and references embedded in the story threaten to turn against itself." Helinä Laajalahti from Muropaketti.
Perhaps the most scathing review came from Jonni Aromaa from Yle News.[16]
"Iron Sky The Coming Race is actually one of the worst movies I have ever seen. And I've seen quite a few films."
"Right now I wouldn't want to be film director Timo Vuorensola or movie producer Tero Kaukoma in the boots. Last Wednesday, the sequel to Iron Sky, which received its world premiere in Finland, is probably a flop. At least in Finland."
"Why on earth is the manuscript ordered from a friend of Vuorensola, the American Dalan Musson? Wasn't anyone else really found on this planet?"

I watched this on Nefflix last year. The reviews are pretty much spot on, and the ending threatens a third film.
But if you have some time to waste, or you're bored and aren't too picky, you may get some enjoyment from it. I have to admit that I did.
I haven't seen the "Iron Sky", but there is enough recap in the second movie that you get what happened in the first.
I was going to watch the first movie at a con in 2015, but it was be shown on a rear projection screen. And they had a light directly behind the screen! So you weren't going to see the movie, just hear it.

I was so disappointed in ]Iron Sky that I never bothered to watch the sequel.
Krel's post, however, encouraged me to give it a try. However, Netflix doesn't seem to have it!
That's odd, eh?  _________________ ____________
