Magnum Force

In the sequel to Dirty Harry, Clint Eastwood returns to carry on in the same fashion.
There is more to this film than the one line that returned throughout Dirty Harry so that is a positive and as we all know, it is good to start with the positives. I thought that there was more plot to this film and that actually the entire film was better than the first one. Clint Eastwood convinced me more in this film than he did in the previous film and that made me happy because he can act, as shown in Gran Torino.
At times i felt that the plot was predictable, especially towards the end when you just felt like it had to be a certain character and that you knew what was going to happen.
I liked the way that this one was filmed, instead of a lot of panoramic shots like they used in Dirty Harry, they filmed it more as if the camera was only a few feet away from the action, the camera followed the character and the characters were always near each other so there were a lot less of the distance shots that we became accustomed to seeing during Dirty Harry.
I am happy that there was more development and that clearly a lot more thought went into this film because i actually quite enjoyed it and don't regret watching it on my afternoon off. It wasn't funny but it wasn't too serious either so in a way it was close to being perfect. The acting wasn't the best thing on the planet but I have seen a lot worse, it was pleasant in every way.
