score 3/10
I don't know why Morgan Freeman has such a passion for making movies with 'GOTCHA' endings that fall so completely flat and bloodless, but it feels like a recurring theme in his otherwise wonderful career - this movie, just like its predecessor, charges with great fun and energy towards an ending it would be almost impossible to care about, a finish that you would struggle to predict even if you ever wanted to.
So many talented people in this film given absolutely no help in making themselves likable, this movie doesn't even have the clever, engaging 'was that magic or movie making' successes of the first film. It reminds me, actually, of the Ocean's 11 sequels - where everyone involved appears to be having a great time, except the audience, who is ignored or disdained at every turn.
A bummer. Disappointed in myself for ignoring the lousy trailer, and daring this film not to waste my money.
