There's a lot of talk about the music in other threads. I wanted to say that if it was just the music, maybe with 1 other homage line from a previous movie, I think I would have enjoyed it more.
It was the music + half of the first movie stuck into the new one. Come on, make up your own material, it seems like you're desperate to keep the fans and too afraid to try new things. Why do movie executives think that if they throw in a bunch of one-liners from the old movie, somehow it will excite the fans? A fantastic movie with zero reference to the older films would excite everyone more than that. Just my thoughts.
