I did think the 1st one was great. Then again it could be the hots for Keira Knightley, who still looks great in this one.
The special effects are great. The story isn't as entertaining.
Anyone who goes needs to stay through the credits to see what comes up at the very end.
Although the story may not be as good or other reason for not liking it as much as the first one.
I have come the conclusion that my exp with a movie can be swayed with my expectations before watching the movie.
If I am really wanting to see a new movie and think it is going to be great...chances are it will let me down some almost every time. It is very rare that I expect a movie to be great and it actually be great or better than I expected.
It just gets so hyped up or something and it is hard to live up to the hype many times.
On a flip note there will be movies that I heard were flat out terrible, or looked like they may be. Then upon watching the movie I find out it was decent..nowhere near as bad as I was expecting.
Expectations, at least for me, can play a major part when I see a movie.
