Reaction: Another epic-sized hit for this epic series, which currently stands as the highest grossing film of the season (although will likely be surpassed by either Fantastic Four: Doom and/or Batman: In the Shadows). The studio can't wait to see what the writers cook up for the conclusion of the trilogy.
"While lacking in some areas of world-building and character development that made the first Caesar so memorable, this sequel more than makes up for it in bigger battles scenes and deeper, darker conflict between the various parties. The first film was a major GRA player, and I expect much of the same from this one." - Michael Carthage, Associated Press
"The ladies and Jeremy Irons take a bit of step back in this film, understandably as it is more of a war film than its predecessor. As a by-product of that though, Cillian Murphy gets more to play with and he makes the most of it, giving a conniving villainous performance. Not to be outdone, Leonardo DiCaprio is once again great in the title role and Christopher Nolan's direction adds to the epic scale of the production." - Frank Estelle, Boca Breeze
"Even more brutal than the first, Malone, Taylor and Nolan in my opinion match, if not better the first. Can DiCaprio win the best actor GRA for playing the same role, only time will tell. The opening and ending of the film really encapsulated what I like about both these films. Topped off by Cillian Murphy stealing absolutely every scene he is in Caesar part II delivers and the some. If a third is to be I await its arrival." J. Darrell Ellington, Behind the Camera
Rated R for bloody violence and some sexuality
