Sucks ass. Not worth the bandwidth.


As somewhat expected, since the Golden Circle was horrible as well, despite an exciting trailer.

Golden Circle was bad.

THAT FINAL FIGHT SET TO ELTON JOHN WAS KIND OF AMAZING...OTHER THAN THAT...I AGREE.

Elton John was the best thing about that movie. Kind of pathetic that a guy who's not even an actor is the best part.

Sad but true. I saw was sucked in by the trailer, but frankly the trailer seemed to have been for a completely different movie... The movie was dull and boring... should have been edited down by at least 30 minutes less... but still would missing things to make it worth a shit.

Agreed - skipped most of it and still felt like it was a waste of time. Action sequences were all animated - no realism, no stunt work, lazy candy arsed bullshit. I mean, this film had no redeeming qualities whatsoever - usually films with lame acting/stories have decent action sequences - this film had nothing.

The last 30 mins are good - streamlined plot and impressive action and fight scenes, just a shame it takes 90 mins to get there.

I was really surprised by how much they spent on such a dull boring screenplay. They went all out on the period piece filmmaking. But man, it's just people sitting around blathering for hours.

It's a crying shame considering the quality of the first movie.

I really admire the ambition of the story they were after. This just didn't come together very well. Still, there's a few scenes i'm remembering fondly after, even if they kind of annoyed me while I watched it. It might grow on me.

The trouble was the film desperately wanted the twist of killing off the son, so it never really develops his character and spends too long zipping around the world giving us an alternate history lesson. There’s no clear plot/character to hang on to until the last 30 mins.
