Just saw it last night and disliked it.
- The $6 extra I had to pay for 3d was not worth it (nothing outside of Avatar quality 3d is worth that extra $6 IMO).
- CGI gets an expected/10, now a days I'm no longer impressed with what people can create with computers and T.L. didn't make any revolutionary effects.
- Music was about the only redeemable thing within the movie, though i generally am appalled by techno driven fight scenes, it works here due to the contents of the movie.
- Hated how they took a gigantic dump on some of the old aspects of there predecessor
- Acting and writing were terrible. The main protagonist was your stereotypical cookie cut out "young and dumb" hero. There's no character development unless you consider how one guy "changes" sides near the end. The plot of bad guy is raising an army and wants to take over the world and a small group of rebels must stop them has been done so many damn times before, and TL doesn't exactly revolutionize it. I also hated the fact that damn near EVERY plot twist was reviled in the trailers.
- The hero isn't even that much of a hero, he's about a Carlton(fresh prince of Bel Air) on the badass-o-meter (but at least Carlton can dance)
I might sound a little to harsh but due to the fact the original was just so great and the fact you're basically going to pay X amount of money to see another CGsh*tfest REALLY pisses me off.

- Hated Zeus... pretty much turned out to be like the new generation of Willy Wonka minus the Johny Deep charm- Acting and writing were terrible.
