The trailers basically confirmed the carbon-copy of the original nature, but that wouldn't have killed it for me as long as it still had a vestige of funny.

Then I hear Ken Jeong and Zach Galifanakis have upped screen time, and those two definitely work in smaller doses for me--MUCH smaller doses--esp Jeong, I thought his schtick went too long and got very annoying in the first and he was only in three scenes. So I know this movie won't be as funny for me now. And now I read about the gratuitous shock thrown in

, and well...my expectations for this are even drastically lower than when it started out.

You've been given false information. Jeong is in more than the first (but only maybe 15 min total) and Zach is just as involved as he was in the first.

Its not as funny as the first, but its still going to be easily the funniest movie until 30 minutes or less.

Hangover Part I : 8/10
Hangover Part II : 7.5/10

Well I've read that Galifanakis was given a little more free range to inject his humor into the proceedings, and for me he was hit-or-miss in part 1 so that's not necessarily a good thing. And Jeong for 15 more minutes is a significant upgrade in screen time. The real point is I know this movie was not going to be as good/funny as the first: now I'm just worried about how tolerable it's going to be. I'm going in with low expectations.

Wow, that was pretty freakin hilarious! 5/5! Deserves the earnings I know it's going to make!

Saw it last night. It was pretty lame. I loved the first one, but this was the same damn movie. Hollywood pisses me off with these typical safe cash in sequels.

i started reading a review for this movie on worstpreviews.com.....i got through the 1st couple sentences and know i will just love this movie b/c of how bad the critic is bashing it!!

here's a grab of how he starts out the review:

Quote:

When "The Hangover" was released in the summer of 2009, it exceeded all expectations—at least financially—to become the highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time. Some people loved it, seeing it as a raucous grab bag of laughs and good times, but there was a mean streak about it that, for this critic, destroyed any potential it might have otherwise had. The male characters were cruel, sexist, homophobic, obnoxious, criminal dipshits, while the females were painted as either harpy shrews or prostitutes

u're reviewing the new movie, not bashing the 1st one!!! this is why i HATE critics....some of them can't review a movie w/o their judgement being clouded by their hate for the previous movie, the director, or an actor!!!

i really don't care to hear your thoughts on a movie that came out 2 years ago.....it has no place in your review of the new one!!

rocinante · 05-26-2011, 01:56 PM

I loved the first movie, and was pretty bored with the second. They just made no attempt at making a new movie. I could have walked out and wouldnt have even cared. GF wanted to stay though since it was at a dine-in theater. I stayed for the beer.

Well when it comes to sequels it's important to place your stance on the original. If people liked the original, and this is the same, then his complaints won't apply to them, but if people reading his review dislike it for those reasons, they will see it's the same review

OrlandoEastwood · 05-26-2011, 05:11 PM

Mason Lee who plays Teddy, in real life, his father is Ang Lee. That's mind blowing right there. Your dad made Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hulk and he acted in The Hangover Part II.

Higher than I thought it would be, especially after I wasted 2 hours of my life at midnight last night, and tired as hell at work today.

rocinante · 05-26-2011, 05:45 PM

Hehe, just saw a fantastic comment on RT.

"If you want to avoid plot spoilers for The Hangover Part II, don't watch The Hangover"

So true.

So true.

that might actually be funnier than the film

Pondosinatra · 05-26-2011, 06:30 PM

What? It's not as good as the first one? You're kidding. You mean we have a sequel that wasn't a good as the original? I'm speechless. Speechless I say.

But hey, I'm sure the 3rd...and the 4th....5th....etc. will be awesome!
