Only Cage could of pulled this movie off and he did it convincingly! He is a one of a kind actor and made the character even better. The movie was a darker side then the first and didnt place that much enphasis on big hollywood majic. It stayed true to the character and made it more believable plus only cage can act crazy while changing into the rider! I love his faces. The 3d part was OK and the movie was great so take it from me its not a wast of time and I am getting it when it comes out on DVD to add to my collection.
