Good action movie

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2003)

OK let me start off by saying that I really wasn't enthralled by the first one. This sequel however was better then the previous one with greater action and the introduction of several new characters. Viewing this film through a critic's viewpoint: the acting is weak, emotionally vapid, and almost detached with the exception of Ian McKellen who is brilliant as usual. But forget the critics and go see this film one of the best summer blockbusters in recent years.
