Review of The Raid 2

I have been dying to see this for awhile now and have heard great things about it. I loved the first one so I am hoping this will be great as well. I think this one upped the ante from the last one. Yes it isn't the claustrophobic action thrill ride that the first one was, but this one has more of a story line. The action is pretty brutal and you get more of it since it's more spread out than the previous installment. There are some amazing fights throughout, but the first hour is mostly setting up the story. The last hour of the movie is relentless bloody violence which is what The Raid fans will be most excited about. It was such a powerful manly sequel to that surpassed it's predecessor in my opinion. There are really awesome characters. My favorites of which were Hammer Girl, Eka, and Baseball Bat Boy. The ending was perfect. I can't wait until the next one!
