How many cheap clichés can be used in a movie while keeping a straight face? Watch this movie.

I know people who went to see this twice. Everyone I talked to raves about it.

As a teenager the original seemed contrived, shallow and disjointed. Hoped for a proper movie this time with real acting, a good unpredictable plot and some fresh script offering the chance for proper acting.

Every aspect of this film fell short. Even the flight scenes while better than the first movie were stretching time to fit in the dialog. The low flights near the ground unrealistic. The dangerous climactic moments utterly predictable and lacking any suspense.

Really - I really wanted to like this and expected a fresh new take on the blockbuster with improved quality in all aspects. Instead we got another ten year old story by an actor who can make good films but usually wants to run about and blow things up and look cool.

Taking off your sunglasses to look hip, only works once.

In a few words, another cheap American embarrassment and a failure in almost all ways. Unless you're in your early teens perhaps.

Too harsh?
