Adamson barrels the action along in an even-handed manner that should keep most of the family happy.

Adamson adjusts to the darker tone nicely, but the kids, so richly drawn in the first film, often seem to be carried along in the wake of the chugging plot.
Hank Sartin, Time Out New York
Rotten
Too many fights, not enough magic.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
At every turn, the filmmakers go for clutter and tumult where simplicity would do -- and Adamson, to put it kindly, isn't the fleetest of action directors.
