I'm kinda either way on this movie. I loved the first one , despite its many, many flaws. Yeah, I was disappointed in part 2. I can't remember why, because I only watched it the day it went direct to video, which all 2 copies were checked out at Blockbuster so me being the movie fanatic I am, I went to WalMart and bought it for $19.95. That being said, almost every movie that has more than two parts (that I have seen anyways), part 2 is always a get rich quick scheme and it usually is bad, not in a good way. Part 3 is alot better than 2 and sometimes, rarely but every once in a while it is better than the 1st. Fast and furious 2 was awful. Tokyo Drift was great. Final Destination 2 was dumb, but 3 awesome! Resident Evil 2 I didn't care for, 3 was slightly better. Back to the direct to video part. Almost everyone that has seen 2 thought it sucked, but most movies that go d.t.v. do. Now, 3 is going to theaters, which means it may be good. Look at the premise. It sounds interesting enough. I think with in the right hands that this could very well be a really good franchise, but my emphasis is on in GOOD hands. You could go so very far, and still keep everyone entertained. Use different characters with the same abilities, its like a Choose Your Own Adventure book. The possibilities are endless!
