I watched Ultimatum last night and enjoyed it, but I did like the first one better when I first saw it. It was somehow edited better so that the action sequences made a bigger impression than in the sequel, or maybe it was the freshness. Ultimatum has a quite similar plot as the first one, many similar storylines.
Some strong action sequences in Ultimatum as well and the music is effective and adds a lot to the movie. It's good entertainment, but didn't leave me as impressed as the first one overall. Still felt it was a worthy purchase and would have probably impressed more if watched without high expectations based on the first one.
