the first one was so much better!

Rating: Null/10 (7 February 2005)

Take the opening: that fantastic sequence in the museum . . . whereas in part 2 what do we have? this stupid pizza delivery bit, the only amusing detail was the slice of pizza being snatched away from the guy who was about to bite into it after it accidentally somehow ends up in his apartment.
In part 1 I thought Tobey Mcguire was kind of great. In part 2 it just seemed to me as though he stood there frozen the entire time with the same look on his face no matter what was happening, lips slightly parted in astonishment. A mannequin might have served just as well.
The grandmother I really wanted dead in this one. She was so cloying, preachy and annoying.
Well, that's just a detail or two. Aside from Bruce Campbell's cameo this film offered no delights what soever and the choice to use "hulk" style animation was certainly no asset.
