Not like the first, but just as good

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2003)

After seeing this on opening night I didn't know how I felt about it. It was different, and not what I expected. However, I thought about it all night and then had to see it again the next day. After seeing it again, I have decided it is truly a great film. It is sort of how Alien and Aliens are both great films, but they feel much different. Much is the same with this one. They are both good, but this one feels really different.
The only complaint is what I said above in not so many words: some of the long winded speeches are hard to sit through because they don't make sense, because they are talking about the future, but when you see it again, having known what happens, the speeches make perfect sense. It's kind of like breaking a code. Ironic I guess. Excellent film.
