I've just watched this film. It's usually cited as one of the rare sequels that's better than the original. So when I saw it listed in the TV schedule I recorded it and settled down to watch when I had time to commit to it with a sense of anticipation.

What a waste of time.

Everyone who thinks this is better than the original must hate the first film.

There are a few interesting action scenes but it's mostly so slow. It feels like there's a good story in there, it just needs a couple of hours trimming off the run time. And all the jumping back and forth in the timeline doesn't help. It justs gets confusing.

I guess I can add another film to my "films you should watch even though they're terrible" list.
