Not as good as the first one!

Rating: 6/10 (27 October 2004)

Although the film is quite good, I think the first one was better because it was clever and actually required some brain to understand it.
I think the action in 'II' is good but the storyline is fairly flat. The makers of the film tried to make it too much like a James Bond film and not stick with the more intelligent aspects of it. If they could have combined the two styles then it would have been one kick ass film, but as they didn't it left me feeling rather disappointed after the first film. It seemed to be a bit of a 'Cruise' show, which is always bad in films. Films that just focus entirely on one person are hardly ever good.
