The action scenes in this one are non stop and come at you fast and quick. Better action sequences than the first, although the first had a better plot. The parents are excellent but the soldiers really had no real impact. It was awesome that they brought John Turturro to the front of the story and made him a hero. Didn't really need the mushy love story but Megan Fox is definitely someone to bring in the male crowd. Overall, it is definitely worth seeing.
