Reminds me of movies that came before

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2003)

This film reminded me of The Empire Strikes Back. It has a dark tone to it, the heroes pick up additional allies to help aid them against an insurmountable force, something happens to a major character, and the cliffhanger paves the way for more adventures. High praise, I realize, but when watching it, I just had that feeling that I was watching an well-crafted movie. The three years were worth the wait- this was phenomenal!
