The film is really successful. While the first AWTG was more about the life of the human and his past, the second AWTG is more about the previous lives of the 3 main characters and explains why they found themselves together to enforce the laws in hell.

Everything in the story is connected, each moment and each character is linked. We don't care about anything until the film gives us the information and that's what made the film amazing.
The actors all play very well. The music is also great, it puts us in the mood of the film.

Regarding the special effects, they are pretty well done. Sometimes we can notice that it is badly done, but I think that is not very disturbing.

In short I think that this film was much better than the first because everything makes sense and the story is much more developed.
