People are complaining about how long it took, but I think they are forgetting that this was an Indiegogo funded movie that had COVID interfere.
The Amells thought up this movie as a brainchild and it was regular people like us who paid to have it made. It's not going to have all of the parts of a regular Hollywood movie, but considering that - it's super impressive. The effects were awesome. I don't think they will be winning any awards for story writing anytime soon, but it was still an interesting plot that held my interest and even went a few different directions than expected.
If we want movies made for the people, we have to consider the background. This wasn't some art student's crazy idea. It's good entertainment and an enjoyable watch that is worthwhile. Plus, seeing the Amells star in a movie together is totally worth it.

Not bad at all
Code 8 : Who Let The Dogs Out?
Just like its predecessor, this second movie is just as dark and as full of tragedy as the first one. Connor is still trying to survive in a merciless world. But this time, he's up against something worse. Just like the first movie, it's well acted with a straight plot line. There's a teeny tiny plot twist that's insignificant to the whole story. And just like the first movie, don't expect to see something grand like superhero scenes in X-Men movies. Cause the super powers in this movie were kinda limited. Honestly it's still as pitiful as the first movie. But nonetheless, it's not a bad choice of movie to spend time with your loved ones.
Enjoyable
Following the sequel to the first part of the 'Code 8' led by the Amell cousins (Robbie Amell and Stephen Amell) progresses the story of the previous film while also giving a new plot to look at.
While the overall dynamic and gist of the movie remains the same throughout, if you were a fan of the previous part, you may find this one a bit underwhelming or lackluster. With that being said, this movie is still worth a watch if you have some free time to kill. Towards the end the story does get a bit tense and the villain Sergeant 'King' Kingston while portrayed as your typical manipulative villain, was still enjoyable.
With that being said, this sequel doesn't build too much upon the already existing movie and doesn't bring anything brand new to the table. Overall it's an enjoyable movie with a decent plot, although the character writing could've been a bit better.
