What a BLAST!

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2006)

No one expects this movie to be Shakespere. But it is still an excellent, fun, summer blockbuster movie. The special effects are fabulous, and seamless. The characters are well done, and well acted. Believable? No, not really, but did you actually expect it to be? Was the first one? Did that make it less enjoyable? No, not in the least. The much touted "non- ending" wasn't any different than Empire Strikes Back, or Two Towers. I'm quite exited that there will be a third movie in the series - and pretty much can't wait to see it.
While I won't say this is as good as Empire, it's still a very good follow-up to a really fun movie. If you liked the first, I'm pretty confident you'll like this one too.
