Pretty Awful

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2005)

The dialog in this movie is some of the worst ever produced - makes the script of Billy Madison seem creative. There is not a single moment of genuine conversation or communication between the main characters. It is one endlessly annoying parade of 'witty' clichÃ©s and repartees strung end to end for an interminable two hours. The awful dialog takes an otherwise average movie and turns it into a positively awful one. The story is passable. The special effects are good, though the action scenes are a bit more derivative than the first. The main characters are terrible actors but that doesn't really matter in this genre. In sum, avoid this movie if you can and for certain do not pay to view it, but if you are stuck with nothing else on cable at 4:00 am, watch it with the sound off (you won't miss anything) and you should make it through relatively unscathed and with most of your remaining brain cells intact.
