I was looking forward to seeing the second installment of this movie trilogy. I was not disappointed in action and adventure. The movie has plenty of it! Outside of the kids cussing, the primary reasons why I have downgraded my rating is because one, the "cranks", two, the storyline itself and three, the supposed love story. I'm not big on the zombie thing anymore. This movie does well without the zombie stuff. The storyline loses me a little because the reason for testing the kids doesn't make sense in relation to finding a cure to the Flare disease. How does testing brain activity in times of stress create a cure for a disease that's obtained by getting bitten? Especially since the movie showed that the kids were clearly able to get infected just as easily as anyone else. Thirdly, the romance between Thomas and Teresa...I had no idea they even liked each other! I did not get that from the first movie at all. And honestly, the story has so much content that a romance is not needed. So, like I said, bittersweet...but overall, good.
