This was a good movie. There were a couple of scenes where the "action" was a little too far fetched and took a little to long. So, if you're an action person, this movie is amazing. If you'd prefer a little more plot and personal interaction amongst characters, then save this one for DVD.
It's a good show. Took my husband and 4-year-old. There were a lot of scenes at the beginning where you'd be lost if you didn't see the first movie. It evened out later and had plenty of laughs, but the first movie was definitely a lot better.
I go to movies every couple of weeks so I've seen a lot of shows this year. I went to this movie with my mother-in-law on Christmas day and we both thought it was the best we've seen all year. While it isn't action packed, there weren't any parts of the film where I was waiting for something to happen. It flowed very well and there were a lot of laughs and tears! And in the middle when the character was Brad's age now, he's looking mighty FINE!
Okay, this was a great movie, but the BEST movie I've ever seen? Come on people. Yes, it was suspenseful, great plot, great performance by Heather Ledger. It was a great movie and people will love it - especially because it seems like a "real" movie with "real" characters as opposed to a superhero movie. I'd see it again (on DVD), but it wasn't even the BEST movie I've even seen this summer. It seems a lot of people are overwhelmed by the movie because of the intrigue of Heather Ledger's death and tying that to his performance.
