Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
IncaWelCar In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
UK Shaun American Psycho 2 (2002)It goes without saying, American Psycho is a bonafide classic. Christian Bale's portrayal of Patrick Bateman is possibly his most memorable performance ever. The DVD cover to American Psycho 2 reminds its audience of this by plastering the info in large letters across the front - THE SEQUEL TO THE BOX OFFICE HIT!To honest, I never knew of American Psycho 2 existence until I stumbled across it at a local store. Against better judgement, curiosity got the better of me, as I had to see what part two could possibly offer?The short answer is - American Psycho 2 has absolutely nothing to offer! Everything that made the original film a classic is missing from part 2. It is such a boring film. The story about a girl who will stop at nothing to become a college professors assistant, sounds like a non starter from the get-go, and it is. The film has all the menace of a teatime Aussie soap opera, as that's how clean a colourful it looks. Even the choice of audio is up beat happy most of the time.Rachael played by Mila Kunis looks pretty, and is blessed to ample charms. Professor Starkman, played by William Shatner, the guy better known for appearing in Star Trek adds some weight, as the rest of the cast are better suited to happy TV shows. Picture quality looks professional enough. Sadly this is where the positives end.
Michael_Elliott American Psycho II (2002) BOMB (out of 4) In name only sequel to the cult film has Mila Kunis playing Rachel, a young woman who as a child killed the serial killer Patrick Bateman. Flash forward several years and Rachel is in college trying to become a FBI agent but her goal of becoming her professor's (William Shatner) assistant means that she will have to turn into a killer to knock off the competition. American PSYCHO II is just a poor cash-in on the cult success of the first film but I really don't knock it for that. As a fan of horror films I've come accustom to cheap knock-offs but the problem with this film is that it's just not nearly as clever as it thinks it is. The biggest problem for me is the entire tone of the picture, which seems to be wanting to wink at the viewer. Rachel is shown as just a sweet girl next door type and we get some of the worst narration that you're ever going to hear throughout the movie as we move from one killing to the next. This narration really was some of the worst that I've ever heard and it was quite annoying. Even worse is the music score, which also tries to wink at the viewer with its silly light touch. I'm really not sure what the producers were trying to do with this picture but it's certainly a complete failure from the opening scene to the last. Was this meant to be a spoof of horror pictures? Perhaps but it's certainly not funny and as I said before, the picture isn't nearly as clever as it thinks. Even worse is the fact that Kunis is just downright awful here and it's easy to see why she doesn't want anyone to bring the picture up. Everything from her line delivery to the way she shows any sort of emotion is just bad. Yes she's hot but that's certainly not enough to carry the picture. Shatner is pretty much just cashing a paycheck and adds very little to the picture. Even as a horror film this thing doesn't work as the death scenes are all forgettable and there's just not enough sleaze to make it entertaining.
Miss Naughtia Well, if they did not want to have this movie compared to American Psycho, they shouldn't have named it American Psycho 2. So here goes.First I have to talk about the title. I can't see how this movie can be linked with the American Psycho movie, this should have been a entirely different psycho movie, like 'Psycho girl' or something. The only connection this movie has to the original one is the very short scene where Rachael kills a person from the first movie. This scene could've easily been left out, because it has no relevancy to the story.The movie itself was just OK and very predictable. It did not have the same amount of quirkiness and it was not nearly as interesting and catchy as the original American Psycho movie. The movie is about a girl who wants to gain employment at the FBI and she is willing to do anything and kill anyone who gets in her way. The movie was a tad cheesy and reminded me about all the stereotypical teen horror movies from the 90's.
osvazas The film has received a lot of negative reviews what comes as a really surprise to me. OK, it wasn't really a sequel to American psycho, it was a movie on it's own. The only thing the both have in common is the title. Other than that, it should've been judged as a completely different film, that gave a completely different serial-killer standpoint. As far as the original with Christian Bale, it was a masterpiece, mind-blowing performance, truly a classic. However, when people expect the very same thing, they get disappointed, because it's nothing like that at all.The film doesn't take itself too seriously, it's neither a horror film nor twisted psychological flick. It takes an easy and ironical approach as well as it contains a lot of black-comedy elements. Mila Kunis gives a great performance as a cold, callous, obsessed serial killer, who is going to do anything it takes to achieve her goals. For sure, it's not an Oscar-worthy performance, however it was convincing and given her age, she really pulled it off. Now she's on her way to become a big thing.To wrap up, I would recommend to watch this flick with a clear head, be uncommitted and don't expect the same kind of atmosphere and attitude as the first one, since it has no connection as far as genre and representation goes.
