I gave it a four out of ten for the special effects but.....

Rating: 4/10 (15 May 2003)

This won't take long. I got what I went to see. It was ...well, it was Hollywood selling the next movie in a series. It's ok, I mean it is a cash driven world and the fact that any "art" that gets into movies is accidental these days.
But I have to say, that the morons, me included, who went to the midnight showing last night can't feel it was really worth the trouble. The usual stuff was there and I couldn't help but think what if someone went to this movie and had not seen the first one? Would such a person be lost? Lost won't cover the charge! In a plus two hour movie spend a bit of time setting the mood. Spend a few minutes developing a story or a plot. Do something and make those of us who loved the first one not feel abused by the power of the dollar.
No one will listen but don't stand in line for this thing. It will still be stale in three or four months when it gets to rental. I got home at 3:30 AM and man I felt like a sucker!
