Scope, SR/D, DTS, 6 Reels

It may be the fact that 3 copies of this film turned up at 22:30 the night before exhibition, but BJD2 didn't impress me. Loved the first, but this one just didn't make me laugh as much and by the end of it I felt cheated.

This film picks up 6 weeks after the last ended. However the whole feel is different - which is strange because most of the jokes are just a re-hash of the first films high points.

Ok- maybe I'm being a little cynical... it's not all crap. There are a couple of really great sequences and some of the cinematography is brilliant. But for the most part, unlike the first film, it's pretty devoid of laughs and emotion.

Read the books... they're much better!

Watched it and thought that the plot lacked, walked out thinking that it is not as good as its original. It is also loaded with CRAP Code. 2 out of 5.

I enjoyed this movie, but it doesn't compare to the original. Overall I would recommend it, but I usually like most movies I see.
