Jagdfieber 2

This isnt quite as soul crushing as Disneys direct to video sequels, but it's definitely more boring, cringe worthy, and just outright not funny at all, I would give it a worse score, but just compared to Disney's sequels, it's not terrible, it's fine.

Well, I can't say that the story is something to talk about, but the characters are INCREDIBLE, every single one of them is unique, funny, and fits perfectly in the movie. If you didn't like Open Season 1 and you find that a reason not to watch Open Season 2, think again! From hundreds of reasons it is worth of a watch even only to see a cat named Roger, I think that is the most original and the funniest animated character I ever saw in a cartoon! I cant really remember the name of that cat breed that it represents, but in moment I saw the cat I knew what were they trying to say. Every animal in the movie is represented just like it's appearance speaks, but much more deeply and originally.

"Open Season" shocked me. I had very low expectations but ended up really enjoying the film. And, as a result, I did something I rarely do....I saw the sequel. However, when it began I realized there was a big problem...the voice actors are all different. Were Martin Lawrence and Ashton Kutcher THAT expensive that they couldn't afford them again?! Or, did Sony Studios simply offer us a cynical film...much like the many, many unnecessary sequels to "Madagascar"? After all, this one and its sequel were all released direct to DVD.

The second thing I noticed after I saw the voice actors were different is that the CGI was poor--worse than the original film which was made two years earlier. In fact, some of the characters (such as Giselle) were just plain ugly...poorly rendered and cheap looking.

So far, I was NOT impressed. Perhaps the story itself is worth seeing....right?! Well, perhaps...perhaps not. I did not appreciate that the plot revolved around Mr. Weenie--a minor charcter from the first film. Boog and Elliot were GREAT characters yet the film emphasizes Weenie...which is odd. Overall, a disappointing and unnecessary film that lacked the charm and originality and quality of the first movie.

I came home from work and when I got home I discovered my brother had rented WALL-E and open season 2 and of course decided to watch open season 2 first, and not being familiar with the first one I pretty much enjoyed this film, it had a lot of witty dialog that I actually caught myself laughing out loud, and I found it refreshing to be able to laugh at something that didn't have an over abundance of toilet jokes.

Open season 2 in my mind even though its a kids movie, was definitely a lot of fun, and if asked what would I literally recommend for ideal family viewing? this film would always spring to mind.

Of course WALL-E was also very good and funny, only it had fewer lines but also very good family entertainment.

I'm an animator myself... so thereby an animation geek. I really liked the first open season movie. Didn't love it.... but liked it. When I saw it again a couple of weeks ago I thought it didn't feel as good as it did the first time. The story isn't just good enough to watch more then once... maybe twice. But I absolutely loved the look and design of the film. So when Open Season 2 was lying in the shelfs at the local DVD store I bought it right away. Hoping it would be as good or hopefully better then the first one. Just a nice animated film with some humor. I expected nothing more nothing less. But Open season 2 is a real let down. All I can say is that it feels like the just didn't rewrite the script. Stuck with all there first ideas and just rushed it out the door. Even the animation doesn't feel as solid as the first movie. It had some funny moments and some really nice characters. But it wasn't worth the money I paid for it. Maybe kids will love this... but as an adult... just don't expect to see a movie that will have the extra layer so you to can enjoy it as much as your kid would. Still... Boog the bear... for me is one of the best designs of a bear ever.
