Despite this, I liked it, though not as much as the first one even though McG's finally realised he's directing a MOVIE and not a bunch of music videos connected only by ass-shots. But his very competence is part of the problem - the very fact that there's some attention to narrative flow (and even occasional ill-timed realism)this time means there's less room for the out-and-out goofiness of last time - now when Cameron dances it's all stylised instead of silly, and with Cameron silly is funnier.
Also don't think the references resonate in any way - the Hammerdance should be hilarious but is only amusing because it's not adding any new blood to an old joke.
Soundtrack is terrific, though.
