Thanks for the memories!
Absolutely Fantastic
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
This movie is a waste of time.The story was lousy. The acting was lousy. I can't believe they spent money to do this film. It is not worth it at all.It's not even a good rental. This film is a horrible disappointment.Don't see it.
Slap Shot 2 i thought had to be incredibly weak compared to the original. I mean Paul Newman & Strother Martin made classic performances, something both Stephen Baldwin & Gary Busey couldn't do, I mean they were a team of ragtag misfits just like in the original but the difference is that the first one they played in a league and actually had heart, grit & determination when they were winning, this one is just bad, they lose either way and don't have a real rhythm, just like the New York Rangers. I mean this movie could have been a lot worse, and if this was How To Kill A Film Franchise 101, I guess the film makers succeeded because the original had an awesome thing going but this sequel is nothing compared to the original, hopefully they don't make Slap Shot 3 and destroy this once great film series even more then it already has!!!
the same formula that's used for alot of poor quality sporting movies a hopeless team has to battle against the odds to get some dignity. Had a few moments where it was kinda funny but other then that it was just the same old story that holds true to the fact that most sequels aren't as good as the originals
Please please please tell me what's the point of this movie? Why make a sequel if you aren't going to be original? The plot and the jokes are pretty much recycled from the first movie. The first movie was good, it was a cult classic.The french translation of the first movie was a masterpiece. I still say that the french translated version of the first is better then the original English version (both are good in their own ways)Here tho we get a bad attempt from the dubbing company to recapture the magic of the original french translation but all we get is a badly translated movie.If you want my opinion this movie belongs in the trash can along with other bad sequels.
