And after meandering for a while, the story kicks into gear in the third act, with a couple of legitimately shocking and well-executed developments that do pack a punch missing elsewhere in the film. Even better, while it briefly looks like the film will only tell half its story and leave the rest for the third film, it carries on and sees it through (it's depressing that this is the bar a blockbuster has to clear these days, but it clears it nonetheless). As a result, few fans of the original are likely to be truly disappointed, and the film is certainly in the top tier of the studio's output. It's just a shame that it doesn't quite have the same beating heart as its predecessor. [B-]
