Worth the wait

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2005)

I procrastinated on watching this, because I wanted to see it at home. It was only fair, since I saw the first one at home. I'm used to hating sequels, but this one surprised me. It was one of those movies that I *think* the sequel was even better than the original. I'm going to buy copies of both DVD's and one day watch them both back to back.
Toby McGuire is adorable as usual, and this movie gave a much deeper look into his character and what drives him. He was a bit more bold and more focused, but a little slow to react to what his heart told him to do, which kept me on the edge of my seat. I found it easier to follow than the first one, though I didn't have a problem with that in the first one. This one was just more explanatory.
I would not actually call this movie a love story. I think it was more an action/drama with a little humor thrown in, and some lingering angst from the first one. All performances were brilliant, I thought. I look forward to sequel number three.
