creepshow 2 be the ill fat sequel to the george romero ( overrate ) original and creepshow . any sequel follow a romero film that not direct by romero himself have get some large shoe to fill and mostly because of the romero fan out there who think he god . i do not care much for the first film and funny enough and i do not care much for the sequel . the film series have so much potential but it be short lived because both film be less than stellar . the big problem with creepshow 2 be that it only have three story ( exclude the in between story ) and and because the first story suck beyond belief and it only leave the chance for almost half of the movie to be really good . i saw cs 2 at the movie and the first segment be a real groaner . anything dramatic with george i can not act kennedy be automatically doom and the indian statue story be too hokey and simply do not belong in this sequel . so after a really trite and dull start and there be only two other story leave to reverse the fiasco of the aborted beginning and unfortunately the two other story weren not great enough for me to forget the first story . the raft and the hitchhiker be moderately successful and moderately because though the two other segment have their moment and they still sorta fall flat . the two last story be basically stretch out for too long . it not that i want the story to happen at a dizzying pace and end fast and but both good idea find within those story be sorta nullify by the fact that they be slow and pad and eventually fell flat when the segment need to be more energized and more erratic and with punchier ending . also and if the two last story hadn not be stretch out to pad the movie or have all three segment be more brief with good editing and direction and they could have add a much need fourth story to the bunch . have only three pad segment make for a boring feast . the acting and writing in both the raft and the hitchhiker segment be from awful to good . i like lois chile in the last segment . it probably her best moment on screen aside from her role a bond girl holly goodhead in moonraker and in death on the nile . but even her role be difficult to understand at time because of the serviceable direction and the unfocused story . be we suppose to hate her or sympathize with her . be we suppose to sympathize with the annoy hitchhiker . if the hitchhiker body be find by other people on the road and what be he when he attack chile . be he a ghost or a zombie or what . how do the body eventually leave the presence of the other people who find him dead in order to attack chile . the whole thing be not very clear and even for a supernatural story . and the end be rather dull and uneventful . a for the infamous the raft story and well and the acting be mostly on the awful side and none of the character be sympathetic or interesting . the character would have be more interesting have the actor play themselves . none of the actor be convince in their specific role . paul satterfield look smart than the dumb jock he play and the actress who play his girlfriend be not very convincing a the typical bitchy slut . she seem too timid . the same could be say with the two others who play the plain teen . the idea of the killer oil slick be interesting and creepy but not well execute . there should have be a fifth character to the story and maybe a homeless man or a ranger who lurk around the lake and know about the oil slick and could have be the watery monster alter ego of sort . as creepy a the oil slick be and it doesn not make for a compelling character . and the way the story end and everything seem pointless . no punch to it whatsoever . except for the few titillating aspect which always seem to make boring thing worthwhile and see creepshow 2 at a theater be basically a waste of money and time . cs 2 be more rental material than something you pay to see on the big screen .
