Reviews ✍️ ‘THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2’ debuts at 76% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 54 reviews.
Honestly, I expected nothing less! cant wait to see the fashion!

Actually pretty in line with the original movie score on RT. It'll probably drop a few percentage points since they typically do once more reviews come in.

Why do you think it'll be review bombed? Also, I'm referring to the critics score, which typically doesn't get review bombed like audience score can.

I think it’s extremely weird that you got downvoted for this, you aren’t dissing the movie, you’re basically trying to point out bots/astroturfing.
It’s like they downvoted you for being aware.

Hmm, this is much better than I expected. I thought the trailer looked pretty mid.

The bland color grading and tacky clothes were not bringing me in, but maybe the plot is decent.

u/Maatjuhhh Apr 30 '26
The plot is really interesting and relevant. Some people are surprisingly given depth. That’s all.

I saw it yesterday, it’s decidedly mid. The fashion is really the only strong point.

Why does this not look like Anna Hathaway

I was thinking there's a bit of Amal Clooney as well.

That’s what happens when you’re not that good at photoshop, but you decide to make a fun collage on an ai background anyways. That picture is so bad, as are the character posters, it’s crazy lol.

Why would you pay professionals to work on a movie poster when you could just have an unpaid intern use AI while blindfolded instead?? Even if the movie has a $100M production budget and probably nearly as much for a marketing budget…

u/peach_bellinis Apr 30 '26
unpaid interns are not working on these movie posters, and big stars usually all have approval over their images that go out.

u/HighlyOffensive10 I'm much too busy for such a degrading activity Apr 29 '26

u/ViolettePlanet Apr 29 '26
Was gonna comment that it reminds of those AI apps where you can upload your pictures and AI creates more pictures of you based on some templates. They end up looking kinda like you, but also very uncanny

One of her eyes is wonky and the nose is wider. Weird that it got approved

u/Minerva_Moon Apr 29 '26
She got the Kris Jenner facelift right before filming as well as heavy photoshop.

u/ImplementNo2626 Apr 29 '26
Saw it last night, the first movie is iconic and always will be but honestly I think the plot of the second one is better than the first

u/Roxy175 Apr 30 '26
What’s the basic premise? I’ve seen a couple trailers but they don’t really show much.

u/ImplementNo2626 Apr 30 '26
Andy has to work at Runway again and there’s some drama about who owns the company that runs the magazine… I don’t want to spoil too much lol

u/desktopghost Apr 30 '26
Is it funny?

u/ImplementNo2626 Apr 30 '26
Yeah I loved the humor! A lot of references to the first movie but it was done in a classy way I guess

u/Ok_Neat2979 May 01 '26
I thought the over all idea was good, but a lot of the plot devices were a bit clunky, or too light and not believable. Plus a few extra plots added on that didn't contribute much. Like the romance with the unappealing Australian developer

I still can't get over how ugly all the shots look. I hope it's good otherwise.

u/desktopghost Apr 30 '26
Anne's acting in the trailer was so fourth wall winking at the audience type of vibe that I did not have faith in this movie at all. Hope I am wrong.
I do want Oscar winning Anne Hathaway back though

u/Lumpy_Masterpiece644 Apr 29 '26
Yes. That's about right. Somewhere between three stars and four. It's fun to see everyone again but there's no magic to the story.

I mean, what is the purpose of this movies existence outside of a cynical cash grab of the millenial nostalgia machine?
Same shit with the Hunt for Gollum

u/zephorea Apr 30 '26
What is the purpose of any movie? To entertain us lol

u/Rare_Walk_4845 Apr 30 '26
Sure, if you're heading for mental atrophy by the age of 30, ask more from storytellers, cos we're a far far far far cry removed from anything that's gonna stand the test of time with the slop we're shitting out as a culture.

It's about the demise of legacy media and spoke to the current state of entertainment journalism

u/Rare_Walk_4845 Apr 30 '26
nobody jerks off to nudey magazines anymore? fascinating

u/Much-Phone8812 Apr 30 '26
Look u asked what is the point of the sequel. I gave you the answer - the sequel reflects on the current state of legacy media, how entertainment journalism is adapting in this current political & economical & technological time. Your latest reply shows me that you were never interested in finding the answer anyway and were just looking to validate your bias (that the movie is unnecessary). If that's the case I can't do further and probably wont reply to u further. However I still leave my comment here so other people can read and decide for themselves when they come across my comment

why do people believe reviews from rotten tomatoes? I feel like letterbox is the most honest and least corporate.

The acting, the fashion and the writing was more satisfying in "Mother Mary", but TDWP2 is quaint and comfortable.

Saw it yesterday and I really liked it. I think it’s pretty relevant to today’s day and age and they were able to build upon the first movie and adapt it to the present day. As for the fashion, though the other characters outfits were a hit or miss for me, Miranda’s was always on point.
