7/10
Does not live up to the hype
22 June 1999
I really wanted to see this film, and when I did I was somewhat disappointed. For a start, most of the 'actually' funny parts were shown in the previews. Secondly, heaps was just retread from the original. Thirdly, it was a bit too disgusting. Fat Bastard was really revolting and, I thought, an unwelcome addition to the sequel. Mini Me was better, Dr Evils take on Wil Smith's just the two of us was hilarious, and Scott Evil was absolutely fantastic. The problem was that a lot of the jokes were very similar in nature, and so after a while I just got bored. The references to other films and music from the 80s and 90s was very hit and miss. The Jerry Maguire take was a bit monotonous,but then so was the film. The first one was heaps better, hire it instead of seeing the sequel which is the same thing done with about half the humor.
