the first scanner may not have be a great movie and but at least it be original . there be no such novelty to this one . the acting be bad and in my opinion and and the story be slow and nothing special . i also do not like the dialogue . and the special effect be no good than in the original . this be movie be inferior to the first one in all way . the only thing different about it and be that it be loud and chaotic at time . but that doesn not make a good movie . if they have do something well with the story and make it interesting and this could have be a decent movie . i actually couldn not get through it all without fast forwarding through it . to me and this be a forgettable movie and and not much more . despite all that and there be bad movie . be in a generous mood and i will give scanner 2 a 4/10 .
