Don't bother with this movie. The first movie is absolutely fantastic. The second movie is as bad as it gets. You could tell the actors were doing everything they could with it. Without adding spoilers, I can tell you that part of the disconnect between movie number one and two is that the second movie occurs in an alternate movie dimension that's just "similar" to the first movie's dimension. I saw an interview in which the director explains why Del Toros character in movie two didn't act the same way as the same character in number one. *sigh* I so wanted to love this movie.

An action adventure that is at the same time just flat out depressing. I wouldn't mind that, in fact, it's true to life that way, except for the weird plot holes and lack of logic. Things are done just to move the plot along. which I could allow in the kind of action-adventure where nothing is realistic, but I can't overlook here. And the ending. Oh, the terrible ending. Okay with some beer and pretzels, but prepare to be both depressed and annoyed.

There was a no clear focus to the story, with a meandering plot that took two hours to go nowhere in particular. Plot choices that make little sense with the movie's most compelling character in the last film (del Toro), left to tend to a babysitting errand in this one, which is about as exciting as it sounds. I wonder which franchise this director will destroy next.
