My quick rating - 6,1/10. Of course could not live up to the original, but at least they made it believable on the continuity. If you liked the first one (which many don't, I really did though) then you will be just fine with this one. Something was missing though, and that was what Will Smith brought to the first one. There just was no stand out character to get behind. Hirsch and Goldblum played their parts well again. The action was frenetic and most likely looked really good in 3-D. If you are expecting anything but a summer blockbuster, then you may have to pass, but for a popcorn flick, this works just fine. Oh, and the strange Gantz object being a part of this was very odd. Wonder how many times they saw that movie?
