Loved the original & think the (teaser) trailer below looks pretty promising:

The Raid was like watching/playing an arcade/video game.

The constant action/thumping music made it all so absorbing that I was still "in the film" well over an hour after leaving the cinema. 8O

I wonder how this will compare to the original?

I'll hope I manage to get preview tickets for The Raid 2 :cross:

Yeah, from the complaints posted on social media, it seems that several sites had major problems.

The one I was at went without a hitch although it wasn't well attended.

Watched this at a not to busy Cameo in Edinburgh this morning. Loved it. Thought it was the best action movie I have seen in years. Was not bored at any point even with its long running time. Great fight scenes, excellent acting all round. A pounding soundtrack. I easily give this 9/10.

Surprised how quiet it was this morning at the Cameo. Perhaps some were put off by the length of the film. I didn't think I would enjoy a long film with subtitles but the time passed very quickly and enjoyed it much more than expected.

I also saw this at the Cameo this morning. A completely mad film - as my friend and I though we had never seen a film with so much violence that was totally amazing at the same time. I found myself nearly at the front of the cinema and struggled with the subtitles and a couple of scenes were spread so widely across the screen they were hard to take in but after a short time I eventually caught up with the flow and settled into it nicely.

0 freebies coming up, seen 26 previews, seen 12 non-previews so far - yippee...pa*d for 8 - Hubble 3D 5.50, Non-stop 6.60, Transcendence 6.60, The Amazing Spiderman II 3D 7.38, Love Punch 5.94, Locke 5.31, The other woman 5.94, The monuments men 5.31 and cancelled another 5 for various reasons. Purchased a Cineworld Card, so I'm seeing a lot less free films as i am not travelling as far to see them.

I managed to see this at a preview screening at BAFTA. Had high expectation going into this screening and wasn't disappointed. The pacing and structure does differ from the first film and it is very violent - so may not be for everyone. The audience even broke out in spontaneous applause after a couple of the fight scenes.
