A strong sequel

Rating: 7/10 (7 August 2017)

Sequels always start behind the eight-ball; they have huge expectations to meet if the first movie is a success. While not quite as good as the first film, this is still a good film that keeps you entertained. This movie is fiction, but it definitely helps to be interested in history and religion. Strong acting performances all around. An interesting plot, but you do need to take a leap of faith for at least a part of it. If you do not like violence, I suggest this film is not for you. There was a much higher amount of violence in this film compared to its predecessor. The cinematography was rather strong in this film, capturing the suspense and horror of the moment quite often, along with the beauty of history.
