I love all the films although I haven't watched them in a while.Quite honestly,I didn't think much of part 2 when I first saw it,but it became a much better film for me after part 3 was released.Similar I think to the second and third of the original Star Wars series,where they are made one after the other and you need to see the third to make sense of the second.
Part 2 was certainly darker in context to the more lighthearted 1 and 3 in the series.It had a real bit of an edge to it.Where he broke into his house and was confronted by the black guy wielding a baseball bat,protecting his frightened young daughter,I still think makes pretty uncomfortable viewing.
I think if you've never seen any of the series before you could watch the first one and enjoy it immensely,even if it was an open ending.But I must admit that I do like the continuum of 2 and 3,especially how they gel together even though they are totally different.
Wow,I just used the word continuum in a forum for the first time ever.My life's ambitions are almost complete!
