I didn't. I found the Lee/Arthur dynamic compelling to a point, and I actually found it ironically interesting (spoiler alert) that his acceptance of reality, confessing to his crimes, drives her away in the end. This is a reversal of the first film, in which his embracing of delusion also drives away the woman with whom he has become obsessed. He doesn't get the girl, so to speak, either time. I found that quite sad, in a twisted sort of way.
