I knew there was something up about the trailers; they didn't really click with me. I'll still see it, expecting nothing but a good time, but I'm not expecting anything memorable.

Agreed with the trim part for the original, but final salvo was so good that it went from three to instant four stars for me. And I still don't get/care about the bizzare plot in that movie. Did Mark Hamill explode at some point? I think so.
This ditches the parodic aspects of the first one and the world really comes into its own, for better or worse. It's looser, more OTT and bombastic and a tad weaker than the first film, but IMO just as fun. Only real problems I had are the sidelining of certain characters....all in all, let's hope #3 happens and really brings it home.
