The story is very coherent and just fantastic, unlike some people says that it is not as good as the first film's story.

Frank Welker plays the roles of both Tokka and Rahzar and he does a great job with both of them and his performance is so great.
Another actor who got replaced was Judith Hoag, who previously played April O'Neill in the first film and Paige Turco took her place and she is amazing in the part. Ernie Reyes, Jr. plays the role of Keno and he is fantastic in his part and just amazingly.
