I had read the first collection into TPB and enjoyed it but perhaps not enough to nab the second one. I found a lot to enjoy about it, I can see how the ongoing execution of that concept could lead to a less enjoyable read. If presented with the opportunity to read the second volume I probably would but I'm not chasing it down with undue effort.
I found the movie fun but, like most adaptations, not equal to the better points of the book. I enjoyed in the book, for example, that Mina was the functional leader of the group while Quartermain was troubled by substance abuse and a real trainwreck overall. In the movie, of course, Connery plays himself as quartermain and Mina gives up all power and control she had in the book. That was a pity.
Yeah, I actually enjoyed the first series in several spots, but by the end of it I was disappointed. The 2nd started promising, but the good parts seemed further and further apart.
