well i think alot of the reason it's so lowly rated is because it's not even close to the first film in overall quality if you ask me although i will say it's definitely better than it's current 3.8/10 average rating with 14,633 votes.
all in all i give it a 5/10 (maybe a 6/10 AT BEST) where as the first film i gave a 8/10... so i guess the film mainly gets blasted if your comparing to the first film but that aside it's not THAT BAD.
it's not that Stone was bad it's just the overall film as a whole just don't 'have it' like the first one did... plus Michael Douglas helped carry the first film (Douglas/Stone worked well in the first one together) where as this film lacks a strong male lead so it's completely left on Stone to carry the film.
p.s. but like someone said above if this film came out 10 years or so ago it might have been better received... but this film is sorta like how Speed 2 (1997) was to Speed (1994)... that film aint nearly as good as the first one either and i sorta think this film is similar in that sense as they both got blasted with there ratings because of that.... because Speed 2 would have been a 'decent film' had it not been compared to the first film.
