DUELING CRITICS

"Here's a comic book adventure that strikes a perfect balance between action and story. The movie compromises nothing in the way of thrills and spectacle. [A] smart, fun entertainment made by people who took nothing for granted, including the audience"

- Mick LaSalle

"Ultimately weaves a sturdy web, but it’s a long time coming and spends too much time retreading the past...As it stands, the sequel is hit and miss, but ultimately it pales in comparison to the original"

- Christopher Null
