I think 2/10 is extremely harsh.
Action movies tend to get poor reviews, I guess anyway.
I would have rated the original very highly and probably a 5 for this.
To be 2/10, I would have expected to want to walk out of the cinema, annoyed. I didn't, the 90 minutes passed fairly quickly, I just walked out thinking ok was that it.
Its a fosters film, its beer, it does the job, but it lacks substance. You drink it and you can't say you disliked it, you just didn't like it.
It should have been a straight to dvd movie.
Thanks for your comment but I think the key lies in your first and last sentences: you're puzzled I gave it 2/10 but you also think it should have been straight-to-DVD.
I think that's the point - it should have been straight-to-DVD. If it was, and it was uncut (as they've already announced for the home formats release), then this would probably score closer to what you suggest. Certainly I could better argue that you can rent it at home, and enjoy it in a so-bad-it's-good kind of way. That's harder for a cinema review because, quite honestly, it's unrealistic to expect people to pay extortionate cinema ticket prices to go and see a film just for the unintentional humour that can be found by mocking it. At home, with a pizza and some like-minded mates I think it would go down a treat. You'd be in hysterics for almost the entire duration. Indeed I look forward to picking it up and doing just that. I just think people shouldn't be fooled into spending their hard-earned money seeing this at the cinema just because they love the great first movie. That's a sham!
Cheers for your comment,
