The Cell 2

I loved the first one... it was awesome. if you expect anything like the first one you'll be disappointed. just take my word for it and don't waste your time... this is barely a movie. there is no acting, no logical story, no visual effects and the script was probably written in an hour... I cannot even call it a B movie, C or D movie at best... plain waste of money and time... You will figure out everything after the first 4 minutes. If this movie is your choice for a rental, rent another one with it, or your movie night will be ruined. Now I am just writing to complete 10 lines of text, because there is nothing else to write about this movie, it just sucks. and there you go, 10 lines...

Im surprised im not seeing this come out as a scifi channel movie, but after going thru the reviews from danlieberman7, cindystrngs, mooreabby70, lisabrnstn782, BillyLopezArt, johnlevitt85, mizzyplum, mer, AllenJones66. Besides the fact theve never reviewed anything before, there was a trait of talking bad about the original, or somehow as a good horror movie point that some kid from high school musical is in the 2nd. I've watched the trailer, and im watched parts from the movie, it was a bad knockoff that defiantly was no where close to the kind or quality of the 1st. The story was horrible, the flashlights on the main chicks head to use for the dream sequences. I wonder if Uwe Boll had anything to do with the production of this movie.

Just like the summary, the MacGyver TV show was better. It had a better storyline, plot summary and special effects. For this movie to be have the same name as the first cell, it's quite a cheap knockoff of the original. The premise behind the serial killer was cool, but that was about it. Personally, I'd rather watch livestock hump. Thank goodness this was a DVD rental. If we had paid upwards of 20 buck to see it in the theater (40 with popcorn and soda) I would have either demanded my money back or be serviced by an Albanian midget as compensation. Does that sound absurd to you? Yes it does. It is as absurd as this movie remotely being linked to the first one...

---end of line---

this movie is another pathetic attempt of making a sequel for monetary reason. it's the couple-ideas-four-coins movie made for satellite TV's needs. if you're planning to see it, you can spend the one and half hour in a different way with no regret. none of the creators of the first movie are involved in this "sequel" and after you see it it's easy to understand why. it's ugly to see once again that producers and money are totally in control of something that should be the sum of all arts, and it's really incomprehensible how can they still think is possible to make a movie without any talented writer. only positive note is for Frank Whaley, whose A-class unexploited talent is anyway not enough to save a D-movie like this.

Can a movie be not good but still fun to watch? The Cell 2 is the perfect zone out movie to be honest, not a great recommendation, but it also had some so bad it was good scenes (somebody mention the ax in the back scene already, watch for it--it propels the entire thing into cult movie status.) Who is Frank Whalley, I had never heard of him, but then I looked up his page and he has a huge resume - this was the guy who was in "The Freshman"? No friggin' way, time was not kind to him but he did a great job in this movie. I was a little baffled by most of the actors in this, especially the lead actress Tessie Santiago who seems to be in a trance most of the time, is it because she's under the spell of The Cusp killer? I think that was the direction but it just wound up making her dull. Cheesy graphics, and an improbable but exciting helicopter crash scene at the end makes this a pretty hilarious movie, and yes, I mean in a good way, even if they didn't mean it.
