I completely and totally disagree. I absolutely loved the movie, top notch and in some ways I think it was even better than the first. Saw it in IMAX and would gladly pay to see it again. Now that everyone's heard two vastly different opinions, they can go watch it and make up their own minds. XD

I'm still nervous about the potential sophomore jinx. By no means does it mean the quality must be lower. But, when you see a sequel where it's got the currently hot actors in it, there are ten times more commercials/trailers than the first, and the number of product tie-ins is through the roof
