Well, if you liked the first, you're probably gonna like the second. If you hated the first, you'll probably hate the second. Really for me, this movie was a mirror image of the first with an extra dose of action, special effects, and comic relief. I went to the midnight showing and waited 3 and a half hours to watch it, and I don't regret it (if that tells you anything). Perhaps I'm biased, but if you also like anything mechanical and kickass, then you'll love this. My only complaint is that the ending seemed a bit rushed and anticlimactic. But alas, I'm sure there will be another one to follow to make up for it.
