uhhhh not good! would not recommend. has much less charm than the first movie (which, tbh, was decent at best), probably because it doesn't have nick cage. chris d'amico was MUCH LESS funny than his dad. all his scenes were horrible to watch. the action was bloody, really only one of the highlights of this dull movie. i'll be real the only reason i was watching this at all was aaron taylor-johnson, and guess what. he also was not as good as the first movie! still very attractive, but much less whiny & pathetic (why i loved him in the first place) and seriously he grew up so much in the 3 years between the last two films that he does not at all seem like he could still be in high school. he was 23 when this came out, and in the last scene he kissed a 16 year old. yikes! i know it's not THAT big of a deal but i literally spent the whole movie PRAYING they wouldn't kiss because she looks like an absolute child next to him. listen, i'm 16 and would not pass up a chance to kiss a 23 year old aaron taylor-johnson, but seeing it actually happen in front of me made me want to throw up.
