    Still one of the greatest sequels of all time, and deserves to be seen on the biggest screen possible when given the chance.

God forbid this should ever play on an IMAX screen -- the concussive soundtrack and relentless visuals would likely strike viewers deaf and blind (but what a way to go!). Simply breathtaking.
