Not as good as the original - apart from The Bride of Frankenstein I'm not sure there ever has been a sequel better than the first. For one thing contains far too many songs, some of which actually fight with the dialogue - a ridiculous state of affairs. Are we at a movie or listening to a jukebox? It's like the model for movie-making has changed in just two years.
Also the Firth character is just too taciturn to be actually believable in places. Still has two great moments: the description of how hard he has worked to get Bridget freed, and the revelation of Jacinda Barrett, who I am delighted to say Q still did not remember.
