Finally caught the flick the other day and liked it, but expected it to be better. It had some good action (when there was action), but I was hoping for more. It was nice seeing some background info on Il Duce though. It was also great seeing a lot of the old cast back; even Rocco has a couple cameo appearances in dream sequences :smile:
I think the biggest issue I had with the flick this time 'round, was I didn't really care much for some of the new characters --
I really didn't like the new FBI agent played by Julie Benz. Her accent sucked and she seemed to try to mimmick Dafoe in certain aspects and failed.
I also wasn't too fond of the new member of the crew named "Romeo", as they made him out to be badass at first, but then turned into a complete idiot and the comedy relief in the flick, but he still had his moments.
The movie pays great homage to the original in a lot of scenes, which is both good and bad. It's nice that writer/director Troy Duffy opted to keep the same tone and stuff that made the first flick so great, but there were times when I said to myself 'this again?'.
The dialogue also seemed a little sloppier this time (although not like the first had the best dialogue to begin with, but it was more entertaining) and the comedic aspects and jokes offered in the flick seemed to try way too hard to make us laugh (I only laughed in a few scenes).
Despite its flaws, this seems like a pic that (much like the first) would grow on you after repeat viewings. So, I'll be picking it up whenever it becomes available on Blu-ray. In the end, it's still an entertaining movie and it was nice seeing the cast on the big screen. Bring on part 3!!
