I went in expecting some horrible series-destroying sequel, so I was pleasantly surprised and liked it quite a lot. It's all about the expectations you went in with. If you were expecting the wonder and awe of the first movie, well...maybe you haven't seen many movie sequels? I've learned to expect very little from sequels, so when they turn out like this I'm quite happy

I wouldn't call it "amazing". Good, yes, but not amazing. Saw a lot of lazy texturing and frequent use of motion blur to excuse the use of fewer frames per second on moving objects. I did expect better CGI.

It's a movie. Not an essay. No reason to dissect it as such.
