I thought it was a pretty dam good movie. I can't really say that I liked it as much as the first though. It had some great action and fighting parts. Some of the best i've ever seen,period. The last three fight scenes were just epic. It was an action fan's wetdream!!!!! I've never in my life been so awe inspired bye such epic action. I was like a kid in a candy story,watching this movie. If they make a raid 3,I don't know how there going 2 top the first 2 movies. the fights just looked so dam real. Some of it was obviously over the top,but no so overtop that it took you out of the moment. The only thing that keeps this movie from being perfect,is that you really did'nt care about any of the characters outside of the main lead. It also did'nt really have the best acting,but that's 2 be expected from these type of movies. 9/10 for me. 

best movie of the year.

Not as good as the first for sure, it felt a bit unfocused. Like they were too busy trying to make everything bigger than the first rather than telling a good story. Still the action scenes and practical effects were top notch and the cinematography was pretty damn good as well.
