Viewing Notes

Things about this movie that are better than the first one: actors, direction, cinematography, story, pace, effects. In other words, it’s ACTUALLY A MOVIE.

And I actually kind of enjoyed it.

There’s a good bit of momentum here and interesting things actually do happen with decent frequency. Aside from characters’ insane habits of defaulting to saying, “Who is John Galt?” whenever they have nothing else to say (even if it makes no sense) it’s fairly well-written and put together with the intent of entertaining.

Based on the quality of this film and the way it ended, I’m quite looking forward to part III.
