A shitty follow-up to the original.

“How to fool StoneKeeper with an exciting trailer and deliver a flat movie” 101. 1 hour in and I was still waiting for the exciting stuff to happen. It was pretty boring. Then the « emotional touch » failed even harder than the « funny parts ». With all the big names that are attached to this movie I don’t understand how it could be such a disappointment. Especially considering the legacy they had to build upon. I’m kind of pissed. Now who wants my dvd? My rating: 5.5/10

Yeah I hear you. I just finished this about an hour ago and I’m
Left with a very meh feeling. Not a bad movie but it had very little if any of the charm of the original .. quite a few jokes were straight up bad and I just didn’t enjoy it like I did the original

I think the biggest mistake here was waiting this long to do a sequel - it’s so damn hard to make a film like this work in modern day
