Actually, I have no idea how anyone actually understands KH2 if they missed CoM. I Thought the story in it made perfect sense. As far as story goes, I think KH2 is the weak link in the series. It's not that the story is bad, it's just poorly handled and badly paced. It's like SE had all the great ideas, but for some odd reason didn't put enough thought into stringing them together. Not to mention that CoM sets up KH2, but the game never goes into it. There are scattered pieces of info in the journal, but not enough in my opinion.
I think CoM is way more than filler. If it wasn't for the cards, it'd give KH1 a run for it's money.
