Amazing. They jacked up the pace, loaded lame shtick in with a backhoe, abandoned all rules of movie action sequences, stripped the characters of any hint of reality and zeroed out any level of suspense. It's a shame really.
In this movie, the producers and director forget that the characters need a believable human side. The fight scenes are not just over the top, but so far over the top that no Angel could actually survive them. Once you make your lead characters virtually immortal, there is no suspense left. In short, they went too far, and they don't work any more. The drama is lost.
The first movie was loads of fun. I read the reviews and figured that the second movie might not be as good, but was still worth seeing. Wrong. It's not fun. They broke it.
