Galactic Misfire

Rating: 3/10 (11 July 2002)

This film is loaded with silly effects sequences designed to appeal to fans of the over-rated original and it might please the less discriminating of them. But on the whole the film lacks a coherent plot and is mostly a vehicle for effects. Will Smith still offers up a smattering of wisecracks but seems more restrained this time, as if told not to upstage the effects and Tommy Lee Jones is practicaly sleepwalking this time around, without the charisma he showed in part one. A galactic misfire. GRADE: D
