well first was pretty well....second was ok, but had more action...
although story may appear weaker, he was actually fighting for his nations pride after the event with japan in the first so its more of an account than for entertainment.... if its entertainment your looking for, there are 2 more to be released this year....

This movie lacks a lot. Story was really boring and not that much great action. It reminds me too much of Fearless, but Fearless was better.
