where can i begin . i hear this movie be come out and i be very mad . i be a huge fan of the original carlito way and when i hear about this and i think it would be just like almost all the other sequel that come out in hollywood . i think it would be bad . boy be i wrong and this movie be much bad than i expect . not say all sequel be bad and but thats the problem with hollywood these day and they make too many sequel and remake and rush them . this be not a theater release and it be a dvd release . still and in my opinion and there be no reason at all for this to be make . after i hear about this film be in progress and i then later hear pacino be not in it . that right away kill any chance this movie have of be good . why do i check this movie out then some of you may ask . well i have the opportunity to see it so i do . i do not only watch movie that i have high expectation of and i have low expectation on this one obviously . i just want to see if it would have anything relevant in it . now and if any of you read this be a carlito way fan and you know a lot of the story in the first one have to do with him go to jail . very minor spoiler i wont ruin anything and because this may actually make you not want to waste 2 hour watch this trash . all i will say be in the end of carlito way 2 and we do not see carlito go to jail . now and i do not know about any of you and but i would have think a prequel to carlitos way would show how he end up in jail . i even have some interest in actually see what happen . now and thats not my only problem with the film . the actor who play carlito do not do too bad a job and but he could not have save this film if he try . there not even all those little thing that should be throw in there that carlito way fan would like . you do not see any appearance of kleinfeld or other key character in the first one and i would have like to see something like that . what be even bad and be luis guzman be in this film and yet he doesn not play the same character he play in the first film . big mistake on their part and why cast the same actor for a different character and it make the movie bad than it already be . bottom line and i be a carlito way fan and this new straight to dvd release be a disgrace . if you be a fan and do not watch this movie come in with high expectation . this movie do basically nothing for me and and it be definitely one movie i wont be pick up on dvd and or watch ever again .
