Not as good as the first movie and they main reason because of this is that the movie doesn't even attempt to answer very many questions from the first movie. Near the end of this movie some answers are given but by that time it really is to little to late because up until that point nothing has been done to further any kind of character development or story. It didn't seem as if the movie even cared about any of that, so I didn't really care about the movie either as I fed off of it's own not caring.
This movie is basically one long chase movie (not anywhere the level of perfection that Mad Max Fury Road made with the same type of premise) with lots of shots of people moving from one place to another. It felt like a cliff notes version of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies. Gone is the fast paced interesting scenario of the first film and in its place is lots of running, pacing that borders on manic, characters are developed as if in a Michael Bay movie, and lots people acting stupid for no other reason than to set up the more fast paced/manic situations dictated by stupid people. This is a sad thing because the first film was unsuspectingly good.
