I wanted to love this movie. Not just like it or be fine with it, but to walk in with my expectations high and for them to be shattered with overwhelming feelings of nostalgia
, cheesy over the top action, and more Goldblum "ugh, ugh-s" than I could handle. What I got was an over convoluted story with bland characters and lazy destruction porn. While some of those facts might hold true for the first movie, the characters were there! Will Smith's Lt. Steven Hiller alone made the film worth the cheesiness. With Mr. Smith (logically) passing on the sequel, we now have a non-charismatic Liam Hemsworth and a grown up Dylan from the first movie that brings nothing new to the table. All in all, don't waste your money. Go watch the original and dream about what a good sequel would really be. This ain't it.
