RP1 caught lightning in a bottle. RP2, like Armada, didn't. Where RP1 was a fun romp though various bits of pop culture, this felt more like the RP1 film, with a confusing mashup deep-dive of everything related to it's chosen pop references. It just felt different. Where RP1, if you didn't get the reference, it was fine, it was explained a bit and you kept moving. Buckle up for RP2 though, because we're going to be talking about how great this or that for a while yet.

RP2 is a an empty bottle.
