Loved the first one. This one, not so much. But I am an every other Kevin Smith movie fan, so that isn't surprising. Clerks- good/Chasing Amy-eeeh, Mallrats-good/Jay and Silent Bob-eeh, Dogma-Great!/Jersey Girl-PU.
The bits are older, the shock talk less shocking. Not Kevin Smith's best work. Some of it very fun but lots of waiting around in between.
Rosario Dawson looks great as always.
Kevin continues to show that he is the smartest of the acting directors by casting himself once more as Silent Bob. Take a hint, Tarrantino and Burns and Shaymalan.

One of the things that most prompted Kevin Smith to make the film was a promise he made to friend Jason Mewes. If Mewes managed to stay off drugs he would be able to play the character of "Jay" one more time. Smith kept his promise.

Jason Mewes has always delivered, so complaints aside, I'm glad to hear that Kevin is a man of his word.

Got this one for Christmas. Not the biggest M Night fan but I remember thinking this could be good when I first heard it was being made. Slightly disappointing in that it is acknowledged by Shaymalan to be act one without follow up. The big guns(Bruce Willis, Sam Jackson and Robin Wright Penn) all do fine work and both Spencer Treat Clark, who plays Willis' son(He also played Lucas in Gladiator and Silent Ray in Mystic River) and and Charlayne Woodard who plays the mother of Sam Jackson's villanous Elijah Price aka Mr. Glass. Even Shaymalan himself is less turgid than normal in another misguided turn in front of the cameras.
Somehow it never really comes together and this winds up being decent but certainly not great.
tidbits:
Julianne Moore was offered the part of Audrey Dunn

Using the colour purple as Mr Glass's colour to David Dunn's green was Samuel L. Jackson's idea - purple is his favourite colour. He even asked George Lucas for a purple lightsaber in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)

Boxoffice: Us- 94,999,143

Is it watchable? Yes. Stallone plays his his seminal character with the same bumbling, humble affability that made him so appealing in the first film.
Is it good? No. Too stale. Too redundant. Too much to overcome.

Had intended to miss this one in the theater but wound up going anyway and was pleasantly surprised. Who would have thought the man who uttered "What are you looking at sugartits?" could have directed not one but two of the best major foreign language films in the past ten years(neither is as good a City of God). Lots of action, good characters and a storyline that never sags. Really a very solid effort that is likely to be overlooked at oscar time.
