I hated it for the idiots in it

Rating: 3/10 (18 March 2006)

I remember the first time I watched it and thought.. man what a stinker. I watched JP 3 and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Kind of saved the series as far as I was concerned. I even forgot how terrible JP2 was. Over the years I just remembered that JP1 was great, JP2 stunk and JP 3 was pretty good. Recently I stupidly watched JP 2 again and rediscovered why I hated it the first time. Julienne Moore and Vince Vaughn's characters were complete morons and everyone except the young girl deserved to get eaten. I so much hoped that Julienne and Vince would get chewed up when they were on the island. Even big Jeff's character was a bit of a tosser at times and he should have known better. The super smart hunter guy never even gave the blood on the rucksack a moments thought. Deary me...... The effects and storyline were actually good, but please would it not have been better to make the movie without morons. I think Stephen fell asleep at the wheel directing this one.
