I actually enjoyed the second one, maybe more than the first. It had some crazy action scenes and a lot of great gags. I was ticked off by the cliffhanger ending though.
The third film made absolutely no f*cking sense, I couldn't follow it all and it was just a big noisy mess.

He was over the top, but that made it a more compelling performance for me. Some actors can make overracting a good thing, I think DDL is one of them.

Really? The movie was a great mismatch of sci fi conventions, resulting in something quite new. As an action film it was really tense, the story was very well done, much so that you actually start to care about these mutant shrimp people.
And I thought the protagonist was awesome, certainly not your typical sci fi action hero.

American Beauty is essentially my favorite film.
