A true popcorn summer movie!

Rating: 9/10 (8 July 2006)

Alright, I have to admit I was really looking forward to this movie and so was my wife. We missed out on the first day and part of the second because there was others who felt the exact same way!
Even though the movie did run a bit long, the action never stopped and by the end, I was ready for a break to catch my breath! The movie is what I was expecting with more CGI characters and over the top swashbuckling sword fights! I wasn't disappointed! The whole movie is set up to lead to the third installment and I can only imagine what craziness has been thought up for that!
You will need to see the first film to follow the characters and their motivation and get the ending of this one!!! Oh yeah, a surprise ending made me, and every one else in the theater, have an aha moment! I won't spoil anything about the movie if you are planning on seeing it. Just know that the action is quite over the top and the story is pure fantasy as are the characters, but we aren't going to see this movie for true to life historical fact now are we?
It's like a ride at DisneyWorld on the big screen! Grab your popcorn and make sure your arms and legs are in your seat before the ride begins!!! ENJOY!
