He said something like "It's in the rules: You must take a dump on the sequel."

My 6 year old cousin and his 10 year old firend went with me to see it, and he understood it just fine. I thought it gave you all the required information, but now a days unless a character stares right at the audience and says " okay now listen, I am about to reveal something extremely important to later events so you might want to listen to what I am about to say" critics seem too stupid to get it. The only people to blame for the dumbing down of cinema are critics. A director should not have to comprimise his movie's quality because a critic is too lazy to pay attention and take in what is being said. And another thing, why is it so hard to set in a theatre for 3 hours? I mean come on, people can set on a couch in front of a t.v. watching a sports game for 4 or more hours but do not ask them to set for three hours in a comfortable chair in a dark room with a kick ass film, amazing sound, and digitaly projected picture.
