Sequelitis strikes again

Rating: 2/10 (5 November 2003)

I can't believe I got up at dawn for this premier. There are huge holes in the plot filled in with explosions, huge holes in the dialog filed in with curse words and the cgi just wasn't as good as Reloaded. Some interesting Kung-Fu, but nothing to top the other films, and in the end they ripped of Frank Herbert's Dune series.
I might be happy with it as a video game, but it was a pretty pathetic flick. It entirely lacked the creativity and humor that made the first film so much fun.
It's saving grace was that the chicks got a share in the action. Trinity, Niobe and Z all had some amazing action sequences.
I'm leaning toward a 1.5 to 2 star rating overall, but there were admittedly some 4 star moments. I've told everyone who asked me that it was a wait for video thing and yet I'm strangely drawn to go see it again.
