Not even remotely as epic as the trailer suggested, but still manages to deliver the same solid mediocre entertainment we expected. This one has a darker and more mature tone than its predecessor, yet it comes with the same problems with the writing. The movie is bloated with subplots and unnecessary steps that took away time that could have been used to flesh out the characters’ relationships and make the plot plausible. The characters keep running in circles for most of the movie, only to rush at the end with an anticlimactic final battle and an oversimplified resolution to what could have been a way more complex conflict. They keep hinting at a huge war between civilizations, yet we hardly see more than a dozen people involved.
