Pretty damn good!

Got to see it a day before UK (and International?) release date. WB gave out some pre-release tickets.

Very enjoyable. Didn't end where I expected it to end, but very interesting place to leave the audience. Big cliff hangar!

Better than the first? The first was so profoundly uninteresting that I have no interest at all in this one.

I loved the first and found this one definitely better. It has an Empire Strikes Back feel with constant action and a lot of revelations going on. The ending is setting up huge things for the last movie which will be badass to start. The first one had a lot of slow parts whereas this was almost all action.

That's a very good point. The exposition in the first film was heavily pedestrian in pace. The exposition in this film was high pace.
