So this is weird, because I've never reviewed a movie, and I forgot that we bought and watched this a while ago until I saw it on my list...
Hmm. I mean, I don't want to say it SUCKED, because it really didn't... that is to say if you didn't think the first 22 chapters sucked, you're probably not going to hate these. But I also wouldn't go so far as to say "If you liked the first 22 chapters, you'll like this," because ya really might not. Let's see... what can I say without spoiling anything? Wait, there's not much to spoil, storywise. It's kinda just more of the same, just a little worse. There were some definite high points, and some musically different ideas (wait, that can't be right... I mean, different MANIPULATIONS of the same general musical idea you already heard for 22 chapters), which was cool.
But overall, it's more lows this time around. Not as interesting, not as funny, although it does still clearly possess the same soul and spirit as the first edition. One of the big issues is the production. Most of the scenes look like they were shot against a green blanket in R.Kelly's basement and with backgrounds and editing done in iMovie. What's with that? I guess the fans demanded the sequel, so he had to deliver even if he didn't have funding. Which, I guess if you're a fan then anything's better than nothing, right? Maybe I'm still trying to figure out if I'm a fan then.
Nah, the original rocked, it did. This one was just kinda disappointing. Debating between 3 stars "It's okay" or 2 stars "Didn't like it." I guess I'll go with 2, because it definitely doesn't totally SUCK, it was 'okay'... but also, I can't say I LIKED it, whereas I definitely did like the first one.
Alright then. Good luck.
