The action was great, and it's better on a big screen -- the bigger the better. Saw the first on TV, and it's hard to follow everything on a small screen. We also took our 4 year old grandson. There were a few words I wish they hadn't used. They were funny if adults heard them, but I didn't want to explain what they meant. But all in all, it was a fun movie. You didn't even need the first one, but it helped.
