That's really the only reason.

You can point to the gymnastics or the effects (which weirdly are less impressive) or the finale (which feels more like a Godzilla remake audition than an actual high-stakes finale) for "reasons why," but overall it's a lot of fun IMO. Anyone who'd watched this *before* the original likely would have felt blown away-- there's just some natural sequel imagery carryover which makes it feel "less fresh" to those who worship the OG (as they should). It's still damn good tho.

And there's no denying that the sequence with the RV, culminating in the absolutely unbelievable Moore-on-the-glass scene, is among the best action that Spielberg has ever shot.
