thats why first movies are usually better. (not always) but the first in a series (done well) has solid character development, a good storyline, and then action when needed. the 2nd in the series often forgets those things and just goes for the action that wasnt in the first.

sometimes the 2nd gets it right tho. but often it ends up like matrix 2 and 3. leaving out everything that made the original good. :P

in this movies case tho... it would be hard to do a whole lot worse then the first.
Well I see that rule works in most movies, but sometimes I feel its just the opposite. Namely in comic movies.

They spend so much time explaining the origins of the character that there usually isn't room for a major plot just some villian to thwart.

The second one opens up a lot of potential for a better plot because we know how the characters got there. And really there first major threat.

Just look at how Doc Ock was builded up in comparison to Green Goblin.
