Not the original. Still decent.

Some great action and superb pace and an interesting story with the same gang as the first but it doesn’t reach the same level as the first of getting the watcher to care about the quest. Mirren is a welcome addition and does fantastic work here opposite Voight.

Incoherent and ridiculous. This was a plot-driven blockbuster, which quickly became problematic when neither the viewers reality, nor the films own reality could reconcile the chasm between character actions and the logical progression of time and space.
