How in the hell is this a 5.8?!


seeing ratings like that remind me that sometimes IMDB users are way way way off base.

movie is hilarious, as funny as the original IMO, sure it's a slapsticky comedy but it's also F*$CKING HILARIOUS.

this should have at least an 8.0 rating

I came on and was just about to write the same thing. I couldn't believe it, there are a ton of much, much less funny films than this that have ratings in the 6.0's.
They both should be in the 7's. I've never met anyone that didn't like them.

I agree it should be higher than 5.8, but THAT is what you find shocking? I'm more shocked that the first Wayne's World is only 6.9!!! That's a disgrace. The first is absolute class, f-cking hilarious. The 2nd isn't as good, still hilarious though!

If you're gonna spew... spew into this.

Totally agree. I saw it again this morning and there are so many laughs in it. (And Walken was great in it too, I thought.) Hell I think it blows 'The Hangover' and other modern comedy movie crap out of the water, but I guess that's just me.

I don't get the 5.9. Ridiculous. More toward the 7.5 or 8 end in my opinion.

I was also shocked by the 5.8 rating. It was always my perception most people thought the 1st one was better, but still liked the 2nd one. Personally, I think this is one of the rare comedy sequels which equals the original. Off the top of my head, the only other three comedy sequels which equal the original in my opinion are Austin Powers 2, Clerks 2, and Christmas Vacation.

That's what i was gonna say and the original had a 6.9. They should be at least in the 7's. I guess to many preps watched this or something.

Noticed this just now, re-watched it recently, seriously tough critics. Deserves something in the 7 region, or 8 if you are a fan. I'd rate it 8.3

As with most sequels, it wasn't as great as the first.Some of the gags were pointless - T Rex Ala Jurassic park? and the half naked Indian guy - funny the first time but got tiring after a while

I actually think this is one of the few sequels ever made that's better than the first movie.

reply

I don't know but I think this movie deserves at least a 7.0 rating, another movie I think is highly underrated on IMDB is Home Alone 2
