Unfortunately, their playful camaraderie isn't exploited nearly as much as it could be, because while the movie is incredibly
lively in its
opening and closing minutes (including one of the most ridiculous action
sequences ever filmed), that sense of high - energy fun is absent for most of the middle section, when it starts to take itself too seriously.
From that downright daft
opening sequence onwards, this sequel is an embarrassment to what was a
lively, entertaining and funny original.
