For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
