The first movie wasn't exactly the most amazing thing ever, but I still loved it. It offered something different -- female heroines are scarce these days and a nice twist on old horror cliches. The sequel on the otherhand didn't offer anything new. It was just kind of there. The relationship between Selene and Michael had no spark. They had so much more chemistry in the first movie and here it seemed to have disappeared. To say I was underwhelmed would be fairly accurate. It wasn't a boring movie exactly -- the action scenes were frequent enough and very well done to keep me from falling into boredom, but it didn't have the kick I thought it would. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I didn't have the pay to see it. Probably should have waited till it premiered on HBO. I like mediocre things better when they're free.
