Some "copypasta", wish I was less OCD and could tap out of a series..
The story "was" watchable, if predicable. (Surprising heroism, Training trope, off beat struggling character close to the protagonist, etc.), however in the 2nd movie it's pretty bland.
Combat with the Alien Invaders quickly become repetitive which was a flaw in the series as well.
Add in I'm not a fan of the Lolicon/Hebephilia genre, the young girls running around with frequent lower torso zooms is a serious detractor in my opinion.
Overall it's a soft pass, not the worst I've seen, but down in the bottom 20%.
