Airplane 2 Crashes
Sequels are often cheap imitations of the original and more often than not, they're usually pretty bad. And "Airplane 2: The Sequel" is no exception. The producers and writers of this lackluster endeavor obviously didn't put a lot of thought or effort into making this film. Much of the material is nothing more than a variation of what was in the original "Airplane!," which makes for a rather dull and predictable movie.In "Airplane 2," the writers do try to vary the plot a bit by changing the venue to the 21st century but this does more harm than good. This futuristic setting has some comic aspects but it never really connects with the audience. There are also some futile attempts at political/ethnic/sexual humor but they too fall flat.This is a second-rate movie that never gets off the ground. Don't waste your money on it.
