Beautiful cinematography, convincing acting and a rousing musical score make this movie worth watching in a cinema....all three hours of it! Also helps that I have never read the book, which makes the movie even more gripping and suspenseful, though parts of it reminded me of Shawshank Redemption ( apparently Stephen King took inspiration from this classic tale) Highly recommended.

Cliched, predictable plot. Natasha Bedingfield's Unwritten deserves to be used in a better movie, with better singers. Sydney Sweeney's cleavage was probably the only thing worth watching in the whole movie.

Intriguing movie with an ominous buildup till the end. Love the stark beauty of the desert landscape, thanks to the amazing cinematography. Fine example of minimalist storytelling.

The movie was too long, some parts were unnecessarily draggy. Fighting sequences lacked the urgency of the first movie. Too many deja vu scenes. Everytime Neil Patrick Harris appeared, I immediately thought of "How I met Your Mother". Keanu Reeves and Carrie Anne Moss were obviously the standouts of the movie.
