Seems like they had even more fun making this one..

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2004)

Well, I saw the movie about four hours ago in a special sneak preview in Tempe, AZ. The movie was.. well.. different. The first movie contained something that's been locked in a room in the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic. It's a force that Voldemart hates and which Harry Potter possesses in abundance. It is the force of "COOL". Ocean's Eleven dripped with this force, and was the best heist movie I ever saw. Don't expect that from this movie.
You remember how in the 'Eleven' there was also the humor factor involved with the 'oomph'. Well, that's the other force 'Twelve' contains. This movie contains stories of different humans, involved in a situation. Yes, Benedict is on their case. He wants his money back. They have 2 weeks to get it back. You'll have drama. Excitement. Lots more 'Cool'. More thieves. More Cops. More relationships ( Clooney-Roberts, Pitt-Zeta Jones parallel), 'human' situations (which I like), of course some heisting and lots more fun.
I give it 9/10. I know my review doesn't conclude anything except the digits in the beginning of this paragraph, but watch the movie, it'll speak for itself. Overall, it's a good sequel.
