Okay first thing is, should the first movie be watched before this one? In my opinion: yes, most definitely. I already know that w/o having watched the first one I probably would have rated this one less than I did because I guess you could say I was a bit sentimental and attached with the characters/stories of the first one. So I enjoyed that they continued them a bit in this one. This was actaully my first time watching anything with KWB in it and I’m so sorry to say that I was disappointed... especially after reading before that one of his favorite movies was Friend and that he had every line memorized so I really tried to like him but couldn’t! :( it wasn’t the character he played, I’ve loved so many with the same traits but idk his acting felt overdone... (sorry for offending anyone who loved him haha) but anyway I loved the first movie and will rewatch it. But as for this one, do I regret watching it? No. Would I watch it again? Highly unlikely
