It's one of the few films to spawn a sequel on par or better than its original. The first 2 are fantastic, the 3rd makes me want to cut off a horses' head, but there you go. Sit tight, though. It's a long film. A looong film. Worth it, some fantastic acting, coupled by great actors (Mr Duval, take a stand) and some iconic scenes. Saying this, it only squeaks into my top 10. I think some people over hype it a bit.
