For a while at the beginning, I was seriously considering giving this a 0 star rating; it is the very definition of jumping the shark, which is something that is very hard to do when your whole franchise is based on crazy, over-the-top antics and situations. Then, as it progressed and got through its obsessive pornographic phase, it started to get a little better. By the end, I'd seen a few decently entertaining situations and enough character to give it a 1.

But man, this isn't even close to being as good as the first film. It's clear the writers had no clue what to write, as they just go crazy and throw stupid stuff at you the whole time (not even clever stupid or even funny stupid like in the first; here you'll see characters randomly jumping out of planes with no parachute for no sensical reason other than just killing him off). Plus, large sections of the film are pornographic, with lingering and often random shots thrown in just for shock value. Then, it abruptly turns sentimental near the end, and concludes in a very unsatisfactory way.

This is a crap movie, even if you just want to have fun watching it. I guess you can laugh at it, but otherwise it's ridiculously uninspired.

In a sentence:

Soulless, disjointed, random, factory produced crap that is only saved by Cho, Penn and NPH. Basically an insult to the first film.
