Vastly underated
People are spending too much time trying to compare it to the first. Although it's the same story (basically) and title, it should be viewed as a stand alone. Watch it and pretend this was the first. It is actually a very solid film. Good actors... Kinnamen. Oldman, Keaton,Cornish, Haley, all were excellent. Characters development was very thorough. We care about the right ones, we hate the a-holes. CGI and action was very well done.
I'd give it more like a 7.6 but add 2 tenths for using "Hocus Pocus" by Focus during the last of the China trials. Great song from the 70's! Overall 7.8
