Boy, this movie sucked. The first in the franchise was a mediocre direct to DVD style film (which is an insult to direct to DVD movies, a few of these are actually better than some garbage churned out by Hollywood), the sequel was over the top, dumb fun and easily the best in the series (I enjoy action movies where there is actual spilling of blood I don't understand these movies where someone gets shot and the dude doesn't even bleed, kind of stupid actually which is why films like Saving Private Ryan ranks high in my book).
