Stylish and interesting in parts, but more often vapid and confused

Rating: 5/10 (1 September 2003)

The stunts (many are digital) are marvelous and the movie moves along while they're in full play with the exception of one fight sequence that failed to hide it's CG origins adequately. But the plot is ridiculous, the main character seems to have lost the omnipotence he'd gained at the end of the last movie, and there are so many holes in the logic that it became difficult for me to watch after a while. 30 minutes shorter and I'd probably have been able to overlook the shortcomings, but I was often tempted to hit the men's room just to avoid having to sit through another contrived tension-creating device.
