I, like many people my age had been looking forward to this movie since I heard they were doing a sequel. What a disappointment.
The first one was bad, but at least it was fun. This one was wooden on all fronts. The effects were rubbish despite 3D and the script/storyline was unmitigated tedium. There seems to be a trend in recent blockbusters to sacrifice the quality of script and characterisation and pile all of the budget into special effects. In this case that did not even work. I was almost as disappointed as when I watched that dreadful remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still". This film actually gave me a hangover. Avoid at all costs.
