Failed To Impress

Rating: 5/10 (8 July 2006)

I personally thought this sequel's hype was based solely on advertisement, and failed to live up to the former's glory. The movie was packed with redundant puns referring back to the first movie's treasured jokes, and to me, killed everything. However there were some great action scenes and a bit of a few laughs, but other than that, the media's 3 minute previews and merchandise held false promises about this film.
The only comforting thing was the cast - all original characters were present, and without them the directors' know they wouldn't be able to live it down. There are so many times in the movie where people seem a bit out of character, acting and speaking what didn't seem "normal and original." A cliffhanger awaits at the end, but isn't surprising since everyone knows about the filming of a third movie. I would still go see it, just to keep up with the storyline.
