Tremors 2 : Les Dents de la terre

Tremors II doesn't quite reach the heights or the pure fun of the first movie, but it is still a competent sequel and arguably second best in the series. The graboids are back, and this time in Mexico! The plot is fairly similar to the first except for some .. minor changes. Fred Ward (RIP) returns along with Michael Gross who both give stellar performances and really help make this film what it is. Giving us more than a few great scenes/quotes. Chris Gartin and Helen Shaver also giving fun supporting performances. The chemistry between all 4 really blossoms by the time the credits roll. Another tremors movie where the cast is very likable and worth our time. Fun opening scene, reasonable pace, and an amazing sequence when they're out hunting in the fields at night. The late 90's cgi monsters are kind of dated by today's standards but it's passable. I can still respect the vision but sometimes it looks like Walking With Dinosaurs or something. Another syfy channel classic, Tremors II is a solid 6 and a pretty fun watch.

Tremors 2 does a nice job of following the success of the first, without being too copycat or too ridiculous. The vibe is very much similar to the first, good humored and full of monster hunting goodness. The sequel also does a nice job of paying homage to those who didn't come back, while introducing new characters that fit into the plot well. All in all, a decent movie, if you go in with low expectations and a certain love for low budget, high quality monster movies.

It's a sequel so almost by definition is inferior. It does keep in the same spirit as the first, but doesn't live up to the original. Overall however it was a fun movie with a few twists and definately worth checking out. I consider the original Tremors a classic, so my expectations were high. If you've seen the first ( I know you had to love it) then check this one out, it's worth seeing.

Tremors 2 is not a bad movie. It simply lacks whatever made the first movie so special. The story is okay but it could of used more work. Having Fred Ward and Michael Gross back helped this movie a lot. I was disappointed to find out this was released direct to video. It has the potential to be a big screen release and could have made more. Overall, Tremors 2: Aftershocks is a okay movie. If you've seen the first movie, you might as well see this one.

Earl Bassett (Fred Ward) is down and out, left with just 2 ostriches. Apparently there are more Graboids. This time they are threatening the Petromaya oil refinery in Chiapas Mexico. They are willing to pay $50k a head bounty for the monsters. An admiring fan Grady Hoover (Christopher Gartin) convinces him to go. They meet geologist Kate Reilly (Helen Shaver) who helps, but when they're overwhelm, they call on Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) out to help.

There are more Graboids. They are evolving. They are bigger and badder than ever. So it's good to have Burt so he could bring bigger and badder explosives. That makes up for the annoying sidekick.

They're playing up the geezer love angle. It's fine that they lay the camera on Shaver's butt, but why put it on Fred Ward's butt. Com'on guys! You almost burn my eyes out.

It's taking a more campy turn. It's a little more stupider and a little more non-sensible.
