[QUOTE="DallasFanForever, post: 331481, member: 13221"] I’ve always loved hearing the stories of those troubled productions, none of which I even knew until the 25th anniversary DVD release. Today, of course, CGI would take care of most of that but I love the story of the struggle behind the scenes and what they were faced with. To me that’s part of the charm of making those movies back then. I continue to have mixed feelings on it til this day. There are things I really love about it and then there are things that totally separate it from the original for me. On its own, a good movie. As a sequel? Good but not quite enough. I remember a lot of screaming in my theatre, but thankfully not the real scary type. It was more of the fun kind, if that makes any sense. The 3D actually made it much more enjoyable for me. Looking back on it, was it hokey? Cheesy? Sure, but it was just a gimmick. Ahhh, the good old days of ripping open cereal boxes and bypassing all that nutrition to get to what we really wanted (and needed) in life! Can’t say I blame you! Very true! I guess it all comes down to taste of course but it does seem that the higher profile the film, the higher the bashing. [/QUOTE]
