Worse than the highly profitable first.

Rating: 4/10 (28 May 2008)

This has such a great cast & special effects that you wonder just how this & the first can be so bad! I can't believe that the first made so much money $347 million & this one almost made half a BILLION WORLD-WIDE! I hate to think that has a society we are not only getting lazy in our story-telling, we are all willing to accept it! This film's plot which again seemed like a cool idea like the first did and yet...boring. First off the cast is probably one of the best you could have, but they have nothing to do but act surprised about who knows what, but not the script that is for sure. If you liked the very dumb first I'm sure you'll love this very good idea, yet poorly written, executed, & plain ol' dumb movie. I would hate to think Walt Disney having anything to do with this hack film, yet they continually pump out these mediocre if not well financed flicks. If you want to see a good Nic Cage film, try watching his amazing non-special effects film "Leaving Las Vegas" where he won his Oscar. Oh I guess we have to have every single film with CGI now. Please skip this very mildly entertaining film. Unless you're 12, then I'm sure you won't care about plot.
