I actually liked the first one. I went in with some very low expectations and was expecting to see a B movie type film. I found if you shut your brain off for 2 hours, it was actually quite well paced and entertaining.
I'm a big fan of Guillermo del Toros stuff in general though, and although he's still producing the sequel, he's not directing it. The new guy worked on that Showtime Spartacus series, which I never watched. So who knows about this sequel.
