My Opinion of this Movie

Rating: 1/10 (19 May 2007)

I have just watched this movie and on the whole was thoroughly disappointed.I wont go into specifics as i don't wish to spoil anything for those that wish to see the movie to decide for themselves.
What i will say is that the story,characters and the flow of the movie all lacked in one way or another.I found so many clichés in the film that at times i thought i was watching a parody.And whereas the first movie used mostly new or unknown actors with just a few well known this movie seemed to say "wow bigger budget means bigger names,bigger scenes,bigger bangs etc" which for most movies is fair enough i guess. The difference here being that the real success of the first movie was done to the fine details and characterisations,That feeling that You could see Yourself in those situations,and the way that self survival and the idea of cowardice can be interchangeable.I believe that if the movie had been made by the people that bought us the implausible but highly entertaining " Children of Men" that we would have another hit on our hands.However this is not the case.The movie seems to go for the usual generic shocks and mind-games without provoking any sense of real interest.Im so annoyed with the makers of this film because although fans seem to feel that a film they like has some obligation to go the way they would wish it to go.I just feel that this movie went straight to bargain bin popcorn flick.Please no sequel ...........
