Game sequels generally rely on better graphics and better interactive play. This movie sequel has more imagination and situations that draw you in more. Again, that seems appropriate.

It’s only when Angelina Jolie and Gerard Butler are up close and personal that you get the sense that anybody was really all that interested in making this film.

The film was directed by Jan de Bont, who now should be known as F.K. Jan de Bont; the abbreviation standing for Franchise Killer.

A vast improvement over its impenetrable 2001 predecessor.
