Dreadful

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2006)

I was really excited to see this movie, as I enjoyed the first immensely. After 20 minutes, I was ready to shut off my DVD. The level of violence and gross-out factor have been raised as if to compensate for the lack of plot. I can't believe this is rated a PG. Character-building and plot were non-existent. The scene on the cannibal island was unnecessary and worthless. It contributed nothing to the plot. The windmill scene was overdone and ridiculous. Where was the plot? That's my main beef with the movie. And how can you have a movie without a plot? Well, Hollywood does it quite well everyday, but I was hoping that this would be different, as the first movie had been. Overall it was just dreadful. Another desperate attempt to capitalize on a movie that had originality and subplots. Disney, stop while you're ahead!
