Much better than the first one, but still...not so good. I keep waiting to get interested in what was happening. The action scenes are very well done, and at least you can understand what's going on, which you couldn't in the first. Altogether, it's just another big noisy summer movie. So what? I'm getting really tired of this kind of movie. You'd do much better with your entertainment dollar to go see SHANGHAI NOON, which has a lot more heart.
