“While the original film wasnu0026#39;t exactly a masterpiece either, this one digs lower. And I canu0026#39;t say itu0026#39;s an improvement. The music is corny. The titular villain only appears pretty late in the film. The characters are sideshows, most of them. I really canu0026#39;t say I liked very much about this film at all. Then again, perhaps it IS a plague when considering they decided to make a book into a 90-minute film, but I donu0026#39;t know. This whole film, to me, felt like an unnecessary sideshow, and the ending doesnu0026#39;t help it at all. Maybe a rental when itu0026#39;s available, but otherwise donu0026#39;t bother. This was a bigger disappointment than Terminator: Salvation even if watched with lower expectations.”
