Not too many movie sequels live up to the original. I wasn't expecting this sequel to do that. I just wanted it to be entertaining and funny. That being said, I was really disappointed with this sequel. I'm a huge fan of the original movie. I've watched it many times in the last 36 years and I still laugh every time I watch it. I chuckled a couple of times towards the end of this movie along with a few people in the theater. I left the movie feeling that there wasn't enough effort put into the story and the visual effects. I thought if you are going to make a sequel so many years later it should have been better than this.
