Hooligans 2

Are you looking at a masterpiece you will remember for years to come? No. Are you looking at Oscar winning acting? Certainly not. Are you looking for a B-movie on a Saturday night with a couple of beers and a boll of chips? Ah yes? Then this movie is for you. Its nothing spectacular in term of script of acting, even the french dubbed version(i am in Quebec) is surely not one of the best i heard, but yet its a good action movie, it does incorporate some stuff from the previous movie, enough to convince us its a sequel. I wish the 2 main guys where showed in the first movie, cause except Dave and Big Marc(who, as a different actor, had a small role in the first movie) they are not characters from the original. But still there was tons of supporters in the first movie will small parts, so you can say its 2 of them. The whole violence in the movie seem pretty real, with blood, and the fights are not spectacular in the sense of a martial arts movie, but they are convincing as real beat downs. And I'm sorry i never been to jail, either in America or UK, so i can't make a difference between a USA or UK prison... That was my second watching of that movie today, first being one year ago before i saw number 1(not released in french DVD, had to buy the English version) and this one right after i saw number 1, and i say i enjoyed the movie as much as the last time. I own the DVD, so i will certainly re watch it in the future. This is clearly not a bad movie as the other review try to convince people it is.

I didn't mind this movie. I thought it would get better reviews than it has received. People have been scrutinizing it to determine its failings but for me, it is just a prison B-movie. I think prison movies are a genre in themselves and it does not take much for me to get into it. I thought the acting in the film was sufficient. And the violence was at a real enough level. The baddies are convincing. And the goodies gain our alliance. One of the obvious failings though was the decision by the governor of the jail to play a soccer game to determine who gets released. That is so unrealistic that it does snap me out of my absorption and awaken my critical faculty. But you know what - I already know it is just a B-movie. It is not out to aspire to great heights. So even this I am willing to let pass. This to me is just an average movie offering some decent entertainment on a slow afternoon. I think it is worth watching.

Well hand on heart this could be the worst film i have ever witnessed. Let's be straight here. 1 - I am an avid lover of football. 2 - I'm not prudish and a nor am i disgusted at a set to do on match day. Violence doesn't turn my stomach at all.

Yet this film is truly disgraceful, there are much 'worse' scenes than its predecessor but the plot & acting beggars belief. My missus loved the original to the point of watching it over and over again. I think she was as shocked as i was just how farcical this was. I had wondered how i'd missed this on the big screen, maybe it was DVD release only but only learnt of it yesterday so i hurriedly made my way to our nearest store with a little bit of excitement if i may say so. We did rather well to sit through this to its conclusion and if my Sky HD box wasn't faulty (to be serviced tomorrow am) it would have gone off at the most 25 minutes in. Save your money. Absolutely abysmal.

So to conclude a 3/10 is actually rather higher than it merits. I gave it a more credible rating due to some fair graphic fisticuffs etc. Otherwise a 1/10 would have more suitable.

Where to begin, this is wrong wrong wrong. I'm not sure i can put in words how bad this film is. Firstly the setting, this film is filmed entirely on location in the city of Whittier, CA USA. However since the subject matter is related to 2 London, England football clubs. West Ham and Millwall. The setting and scenes take away from the points of the movie. The violence appears at times to be violent for violence sake. The plot line is unrealistic, especially the scenes relating to the football game. Overall a complete shambles and disappointment. I assume this straight to DVD film is made for an American audience. However i feel if someone wants to watch a football in prison film, may i suggest Mean Machine with Vinnie Jones which looks Oscar winning compared to this awful awful film. A great way to fleece the public in a credit crunch, riding on the back of its more watchable and enjoyable prequel. Avoid at all costs!!!!!!!!

Did you enjoy "Green Street Hooligans"? If you do, please don't waste your time on this. The "sequel" barely has anything to do with the original events, and on top of that it's just really poorly written and downright dumb. Usually I enjoy talking about things like acting, plot, cinematography, pacing and direction in reviews, but I'm not even going to bother here. I just want to say one thing about this movie: it's set in a prison, and our protagonists get out by winning a football game. If that doesn't strike you as the most retarded storyline in the history of filmmaking, go ahead and watch this movie. If it does, I'm pretty sure I've given you all the information you need. Oh, and the acting, plot, cinematography, pacing and direction probably suck as well, I was too dumbfounded to notice.
