Well a disappointment ....Just seemed average compared to the first outing.
Special effects were good, but the storyline let the movie down.
5.5/10

Well not bad ..But...........Plot was full of holes, an uneven Storyline gave moments where nothing happened at all.
Could have been a lot better...That said there are some good scenes.
