Best film in the series yet!

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 2014)

I'm surprised this movie gets so much hate. The acting is good, the action is intense, the characters are likable... I'm not seeing the problem. I liked this movie a lot better than the first one. In my opinion, it was paced better and more immersing. The effects were amazing (especially in 3D), however they could have been a little better at some parts. The first film was too much cheese and not enough macaroni, depending on slow, character developmental scenes to get by. Basically it was all just one big exposition scene. However, thanks to that movie, we get to jump right into the action with this next film, which does a better job of showing, not telling. Despite all the hate this film will continue to receive, I will still view it as one of my favorite movies, and I am happy to say that I am definitely looking forward to the third one.
