Fair enough that they didn't want to make another sci-fi horror, I can totally understand that decision. But to completely change his character from "I don't care, anti-hero, lone wolf" to "I am the savior and now I have an army." Seriously, why does he now have an army? That's almost the exact opposite of everything his old character would have wanted.
And then there's the necromongers. They just plunge the universe in all this mythical nonsense religion and it ruins the entire feel of, well, everything.
Not to mention the amount of blue screen that was used. The first film was good because it felt real enough for a low budget sci-fi film, then the sequel comes along and from the very first film, everything feels fake.
What they should have done is simply continued having him on the run, maybe actually being captured (they did actually do this much right in the film) and then simply escaping and finding a safe haven or managing to put a final stop to all pursuit.
Sorry, it was on TV last night and after watching that silly bit with the knife, I needed to vent.
