I found this review while researching what I am about to put my young'ns through. Keegan did not like the O.R. horror scene in 2.I enjoyed this quote: "To place a sensitive story in a male-epic genre — to dramatize feelings of angst and personal betrayal worthy of an Ingmar Bergman film, and then to dress them up in gaudy comic-book colors — is to pull off a smartly subversive drag show. " - Richard Corliss TIME/CNN
Emphasis added.
Maybe it caught my eye because it was unlike any other quote on rotten tomatoes. The last paragraph of the review is interesting as well.
(And yes it is a 3 page review so buck up and read the whole of someones work and not just the mob's synoptic opinions/reactions.)

I liked the movie a bit more than I expected, but this quote from Corlis' stuck with me for some reason. I kinda dug how old-fashioned the movie was, with it's Three Stooges-style broad comedy, Broadway music and dopey jazz bar scenes. It sorta makes up for all the soulless CG.
