I walked into the theater expecting it to be just okay, kinda like the first one. But I was actually very impressed at how well this one portrayed the pain and general emotionality (is that a word?!) that were so intoxicating about the written saga. Also I thought that there were some really hilarious/goofy/witty moments that totally cracked me up. Definitely a treat, and I'm now looking forward to the rest of them!
