As much as I’m a sentimental child of this era, I recognize that whether it’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens or Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, these repeated attempts to revisit a movie for the ages can only ever result in making movies for people of a certain age. As rock legends including Paul McCartney and Elton John lend their support, Spinal Tap will try to put together a show worthy of cementing their place in rock ‘n’ roll immortality. Spinal Tap II: The End Continues doesn’t try to be the kind of impactful and revolutionary film that the original was, and with good reason. Spinal Tap II: The End Continues is in many ways more of an event than it is a movie. —Patrick GibbsRead more film reviews from Patrick Gibbs:Film Review: Downton Abbey: The Grand FinaleFilm Review: Caught Stealing
