Criticism

" Sequel movie in which disgust and keep voltage within limits; a boring, sometimes maudlin story being told, go under whose political swipes in phrases. "

" A wonderful example of how a sequel just should not be. Almost the entire story is taken directly from the first movie. Any ideas of the original, however, were physically implemented, and all that relates to the use of brain bypassed. "
