I liked the first part, the second part makes no sense and the ending is nonsense, they say there will be more parts, but count me out. [spoiler] You go with your father and almost die several times, come back by miracle and go alone with your mother even further away to be cured, a seamless planAnd then you go alone and meet the colorful power rangers to finish it off. [/spoiler]

I really don't like how these movies are edited. I find it unpleasant to watch. I liked Ralph Fiennes, but that's about it.
