What annoyed you, out of curiosity? And how was the drama any more over accentuated then this movies? This one was worse in that aspect I thought. Then again you said it has more action then drama and that just proves you fit into the stereotype above of people liking movies better when it's mindless entertainment.

Sorry if I'm a bit harsh but I look at movies as a form of art, and when I see bad art recognized more then good art simply because of who was involved in it I get a little aggressive.
Well, you aren't exactly inspiring me to dignify you with an answer, but I'll accept your explanation, apology or whatever I should call it. In 2, MJ was the main source of annoyance as usual. The fact that it felt like a hammed-up soap-opera didn't make me at all happy. The "if it wasn't for bad luck, Parker wouldn't have no luck at all" themes made me clinch my teeth. Peter: "There's more for me to say." MJ: "Wait. What are you saying?" I so wanted to slap her right then... twice even. Stupid girl...

As for why I think the drama was easier to stomach this time around, it was better balanced among the action and comedy. While there were just as many dramatic moments, they weren't as concentrated. We were given more relief between those scenes, and they didn't seem to drag on forever. If they had more than two that were even long enough for me to get upset over, I must have blinked or something.

BTW, I still have no intention of ever seeing 300 unless someone shows it to me. It sounded like garbage to begin with, and I don't care for movies where the sensationalism outweighs the point (if it has one). I've said that around here a few times before, so the impression you got is wrong, proving to me that I pay more attention to you than vice versa.
