Recommendations
I would have to say that this movie is much better than the first. It was amazing special effects, and because it was longer it allowed more things in the book in to the movie. It did last for quite awhile and I became a little impatient, but in the end, it was worth it. The action was unlike anything I've ever seen. It really brought the book to life.
