Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Pure action, with bigger and better explosions and stunts.
It's a tense, terrifically funny action dazzler with a wow level in special effects that will be hard to top.
The big set pieces don't build, really, they just pile up.
Explosions aren't so funny anymore.
