Quite Good, But Quite Light

Rating: Null/10 (12 December 1999)

This movie, however charming it may be, will always be second to the first Toy Story. Though I loved Toy Story 2 and I have not heard of one bad review concerning it, looking back now, I can't really picture it as clearly as other movies I had seen. I mere three hours after seeing the movie, I had trouble recalling the great dialogue or interesting situations. Sure, I could remember the important scenes and all the characters, but what does that matter? I remembered all the characters and scenes from Baby Geniuses, and that is most definitely, the worst movie of the past five years. I am quite perturbed that people would say that Toy Story 2 is better than its predecessor. Nothing will ever match the originality of the fairy tale that captivated adults and kids alike.
SIDENOTE: You know this reviewhas merit when I praise both Toy Story films, for I am the target audience not even considered when marketing Toy Story 2- the teenagers. It took a lot of struggling to drag my 15 and 16 year old friends to see this movie, but they know as well as I do that that was the best movie any of us had seen since, well, the first Toy Story.
