Review

as its own film maybe this would have been good enough, but when measured against the original we see just how crappy a film this is. they made it longer and yet said far less, entertained not nearly as much, and just disappointed at every turn. it’s hardly the social commentary that the first one was. it doesn’t have the same emotional resonance. it has no real sense of humor. it’s barely a shadow of the original in every way except the special effects and the money it earned. when you see that aronofsky was originally slated to direct and you learn about how long it took to make the film it’s evident that the producers were the problem.
