It was definitely better than the first movie, which I didn't mind. I would have given the first a 2.5 or 3 out of 5. This one actually gives a little more story to the characters but what it does give is not enough to care for them that much unfortunately. Also, like many have mentioned, the music could be better but again it is better the first. Overall, the story is getting better, it's more engaging and far more enjoyable.
