Long time since i have seen 1st one.
This is better than what most animated series/movies have to offer action wise.
Ussually they filled with short animations and close ups. This felt like one giant well animated dance of death ;). The only problem though was that the guy was a bit to good.
Dodging a gunshot by unpredicted movement is one thing but dodging incoming shotguns bullets whitout vision of where the shots are fired from is bit to much.
I know it is cliché but letting the good take a few hits aint that bad :D
