My three thoughts:

-Not trying to offend anyone, but I'm noticing a trend that people who enjoyed this movie seem to have the ability to "turn their brains off." this is not an ability I possess.

-I think the same reason a campy 80s cartoon for kids doesn't translate well into a 2011 movie is the same reason the same reason the 80s Star Wars formula didn't work well 25 years later; the audience grew up. Kids like serious action movies, but adults like myself don't often go for silly #### like this.

-After seeing the first movie, I was convinced it was directed and edited by individuals with severe ADHD. I pride myself on being able to keep complex plots straight, but that movie made my head spin. I was sure by the end that several characters had mastered teleportation and time travel. On the other hand, the second movie was the first movie to put me to sleep since I saw Sabrina. I think I'll spare myself the pain of this one.
