I watched the double bill, the first movie and this back to back, both for the first time.
This films opener is fantastic, a genuinely 10/10 opener, it's shot amazingly, and the affects were amazing. However that was the peak of the movie and its never really able to reach those same highs. The first movies best feature was the tension created before a death, think Todd's death.
This movie mostly falls flat with this, instead trading mention for humour. Watching the first film with the exact same crowd, no one laughed at any deaths, it was serious and tense, bloodlines focused way too much on making the atmosphere light-hearted that it felt like a horror comedy on the level of cocaine bear.
What this film does do better is the gore, the deaths feel a lot more impactful visually, without going into details, a lot of them make you cringe out of sympathy. My last gripe is the scene in tattoo parlour shown on the bloodlines teaser trailer, it pretty much was only included so that they could put it in trailers and promotional material.

The episode was pretty good, still not old Rick and Morty, but good enough. My main issue is the amount of times they are going to use multiple Ricks as part of the main plot, they could have easily put Morty in this episode instead of another Rick and so far this season a lot of the adventures have just been Rick or Morty, and not Rick and Morty.
I would rate the film an 8, it tended to repeat itself a lot and sometimes tried to be too self aware, but still had a great story and great action. However they throw all of this away with one of the worst endings in a movie I think I have ever seen, the ending alone was the soul reason I gave this movie a 6.
