I think this film aged a bit better with time. Back when it came out expectations were much higher. And it looks even better now since The Predator came out and just shit the bed.
The film overall, though, has a lack of oompf! In the first film, you really feel how Dutch's team is rattled, but you don't get that same sensation here. Also, I find it annoying how it spells out everything to the audience. It has a bad habit of doing that.
