This sequel really was a smart departure
from it's predecessor. Differences, which weren't necessarily bad,
laid in the details. Here, less attention was paid to them which
resulted in perhaps an unattainable suspension of disbelief. But by
doing so, several big-time scenes benefited with extra built-in
tension. Unfortunately, much of the filler between the excitement was
light on substance and only kept afloat through some subtly fancy
visuals. I'll go as far as saying that the style, more than anything,
kept this movie entertaining as a whole. That's not to take anything
away from this wonderful cast, who each performed quite well. It's
just that the movie peaked midway and didn't carry quite as much punch
in the end. Still, it did deliver what it promised, more of everyone's
favorite psychopath.
This DVD set consisted of two discs. The second contained a lengthy
and well produced making-of featurette, fourteen interesting deleted
scenes, three multi-angle sequences (dealing with a movie scene, the
opening titles, and storyboards), a teaser trailer, a theatrical
trailer, nineteen TV spots, a bunch of proposed posters, a huge
collection of photos, cast and crew information, and production notes.
Disc one had the movie itself, a trailer for Silence of the Lambs, a
trailer for Windtalkers, and an only slightly informative commentary
track from director Ridley Scott.
Without the forerunner, this one would have been mediocre. But with
it, we got something different but effective.
