Computerized Nincompoopery

Rating: 4/10 (10 May 2001)

When did the advances made in special effects technology erase the need for a coherent plot and interesting characters in modern film? Can't a huge budget production like this find money for at least one decent script writer? Is it really that hard to write a decent screenplay?
This movie is entertaining only for it's special effects, and somehow manages to be even more muddled, cliched, and trite than the first one. 10 years from now this film will be about as memorable as "Starship Troopers". This is tailor-made for people who thought "The Patriot" was a good historical drama.
