This movie takes exposition and foreshadowing and rams it down your throat with excruciatingly long scenes and poorly written dialogue. Brought to you by the same person that wrote and directed Titanic and Terminator? You don't say? You can't call them "Easter eggs" when the scenes last that long. I can't think of a less interesting villain, either, and with only a smidge more motive than in the first movie. And the protagonist? He certainly didn't get any wiser over the last 14 years.

Gee, but the visual effects were pretty, and the female leads were good, despite all of the macho B. S., which is why I give it two stars.

What a waste of over three hours.
