dropped only by my soaring expectations

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2002)

I gave this movie a "7" when I voted on this site. I usually hate the idea of any type of sequel made. I heard there was a second one coming out and thought "why do you have to drag the first movie through the mud by making a crappy sequel?" Sometimes they can be so bad that you can't watch the original anymore because at the end, all you can think about is the stupid crap you know they're going to do in the future. I saw the trailer for the first time in a movie theater and every second was pure cinematic perfection. I my opinion took a total 180. I was so psyched to see the damn thing and I built it up so much that I probably would have rated it as a "9." That's basically what it is. I just screwed it up by "knowing" it was going to be an "11." You must see this movie. Especially if you saw the first one (like 99% of the U.S. population).
