So far, the movie is ahead of its blockbuster predecessor - though sequels usually come out of the gate with more power than the original, which establishes a brand. Its box-office domination may annoy critics and sentient adults, but this savvily marketed franchise is as impervious to failure as McDonald's. It's not a fast-food but a fast-film experience, cunningly mixing the twin fanboy magnets of large marauding toys and luscious Megan...
