yawn

Rating: 3/10 (13 July 2006)

OK, so the effects were amazing and the costumes were fantastic. But it seems like that is all they're depending on? Just because a lot is spent on the visual side of things doesn't mean there shouldn't be a PLOT. Where was that by the way? I seem to have missed it.
After the first half an hour I found myself staring into space, that really isn't a good sign. Orlando Bloom was tedious in the first one but now he's just pathetic. Is anyone else bored of this soppy love story with him and knightly? It's boring. If it wasn't for Johnny Depp being so funny and gorgeous this film would have felt like it dragged on even longer (if that is possible).
I love the first one, obviously, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to see the second. I found myself leaning over to my friend a lot saying 'what the hell is going on now?!' But, on a positive note, the fight scene was great and imaginative and I suppose the film could have been worse, but then again, it could have been better.
