Here is an example of a movie that is everything its predecessor was not. The first one was groundbreaking. It was adult. It was not politically correct. It had sex and violence that was intense. It had several storylines and animation styles. It was an original. Somebody must have said something like, "What would happen if we made a sequel that had even more of the stuff from the first movie?" And so they storyboarded and filmed and cast and did all the things to produce this ... thing. What they forgot to do was watch the original and see why that still stands on its own nearly 20 years later. The music is forgettable. The differing animation styles and the use of computer animation is far from seamless. In fact, it's jarring and distracting. And the characters are hardly interesting at all.As I watched this film, I thought that it *had* to get better. Please, get better. Don't disappoint me. But it just got worse. The jokes got lame, the pacing more uneven, the dialogue more idiotic and cliche-ridden, until I finally just turned it off. The movie just has no redeeming qualities that I could see. If you absolutely have to see this excremently bad film, turn off your brain, your good taste, your sense of self-esteem, and your desire to do *anything* else. Otherwise, you might fidget, go to the bathroom, clip your toenails, or do *anything* but sit through this sorry addition to the animation genre.
