While I recognize it is difficult to keep the momentum up after the amazing first film, this movie felt slow, full of cliche and some of the dialogue was downright ridiculous. I'm probably the first to pull out a tissue during a good drama, but nothing in this movie moved me. I consider it a bad sign that after following these characters through three films I felt no attachment to them. Despite some great special effects and a few pseudo-horror winces, I have to say I expected better. It's not as lame as Star Wars, hence 2 stars rather than 1, but it definitely did not live up to the promise of its beginnings. I probably would have gotten more out of it if I had left my expectations at home.
