The sequel had big shoes to fill and it failed miserably.
I loved the first movie. The whole family did and we were looking forward to the next one.
To be honest my ten years old daughter still liked it but she was the only one.
The plot was lame, the acting bad and the overuse of " elvish" annoying.
Let's hope that in true Hollywood fashion, after a poor sequel, the number 3 will be a cracker.
