That guy who said "age becomes you" to Colin Firth. I appreciate him.

Within our family we had a split decision: those who loved the first MAMMA MIA found this one not-as-good; people, like me, who found the original MAMMA MIA too over-the-top and surreal, absolutely loved HERE WE GO AGAIN! . The winning components of this sequel are: Lily James, Amanda Seyfried and their spectacular voices and performances, great ensemble pieces (when Sophie joins her mother's DYNAMOS the harmonies are exquisitely tight), great supporting cast, ABBA, iconic songs with which you couldn't help singing along (and then they stick in your head), musical selections that actually advanced the plot, (a couple of beautiful tender pieces I'd not heard before), and Cher. I saw this opening day (yesterday), sang the songs in my head all the rest of the day, and woke up wanting to go back to see it again. I gave the first one a 6 (fair) but I give this one an 8 (great) out of 10. [Comedic Musical Romance] (PS. I'm so glad they didn't go with the original versions of the younger dads).

I love the first Mamma Mia and knew nothing would live up to it, however this movie is pretty good too. It doesn't have that same upbeat feeling that I love about the first, (because it clearly has a more traumatic theme). But I still really enjoyed it.

“Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” serves as another fantastic ABBA tribute and lives up to the original. The younger cast is great, with a special shoutout to Cher. Good luck getting the songs out of your head!

A good movie, keeps the original feel from the first movie!

I expected something more. The first **Mamma Mia** was perfect.

This is a great watch especially if you liked the first movie,the music,the backdrop,the great acting, especially like Pierce Brosnan..he should of sung more though....

Watchable, and very much like the original just taking the leftovers of Abba tunes. It is the superhero origin story of musicals. A little more like **Wolverine: Origins** than **Logan** if you catch my drift. However, the real treat is:

This movie lends itself to a wonderful drinking game.

Do a shot for each time Donna sleeps with someone.

That alone could lead to alcohol poisoning, but here's some more:

Take one for each time someone dramatic burst through or closes double doors while singing.
One for each awkward transition between the present and past.
Knock one back each time you scratch your head as to why a particular song was slid into a scene other than it was written by Abba.
One for each Abba member cameo.
One for each time you can tell the "past" actor was hired more for their physical resemblance than acting ability.
One for each time the crowd gasps relief when Pierce Brosnan doesn't sing.
And another nip for each case of foreshadowing the mysterious mother of Donna, which was spoiled in the trailer that ran before every damn movie in the theater the past 40 months.

6/10

WOW this movie is crazy banana pants, and... I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!! It is just a feel god movie and with ABBA iconic songs it can do no wrong,
Lily James is exceptionally good, as is Amanda Seyfried which surprised me with realy good vocals specially in "One of Us", then there is the fabulous Cher.... IT IS CHER!!!!

"Mamma mia, here I go again," I exclaimed, face to palm as I sat down to watch this film. I was never a big fan of the original, and I can't say I'm a lover of this pointless sequel that only grandmothers, desperate housewives, and sadomasochists will love. Every scene is set up for a number from Abba's back catalogue, and while it is done with gusto, my feet were solidifed in my pessimistic cement.

Note: I know i'm in a minority! Still, I was going to give the film an extra point, but then they wheeled in Cher and any goodwill I had left in me went into the cement that made up my cynical heart and Cher's facial structure.
