Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Freshman director Ivan Frank's "Belly 2: Millionaire Boyz Club" is an execrable in-name-only sequel with virtually nothing in common with Hype Williams' superior shoot'em up "Belly." Neither of the two characters, either Sincere or Tommy, who survived "Belly" show up for "Belly 2." This formulaic sequel set in Los Angles is low-budget in every category. The shoot outs are lame, and the profanity-laden dialogue is mundane throughout this shoddy 76-minute crime melodrama that boasts no surprises. Like "Belly," "Belly 2" has a protagonist who narrates the action.Scenarist K. Snyder and Frank focus on a thug named Reginald 'G' Bailey (Jayceon Taylor of "Street Kings") who has just served an eight-year stretch in the pen and is prepared to go straight. No sooner has G gotten out than he hooks up with his old pal, Tone (Michael Kenneth Williams of "Brooklyn's Finest"), and they get back into the swing of things by knocking off an old competitor's business. Amp Dawkins (Bryce Wilson of "Beauty Shop")informs on G to a corrupt cop, Detective Coleman (Ed O'Ross of "Red Heat"), and Coleman questions the Tone. When the Tone refuses to provide any information, Coleman gives him a count of five to fess up and then blasts him in cold blood at point blank range on the number four. Meantime, what slimy Coleman doesn't realize is that a DEA task force is conducting surveillance on him, while one of their newest undercover operatives, Agent Alexis Douglas, has been sent in to romance G and get the goods on him. She gives G a wristwatch, but he doesn't know that it contains a recording device. Ironically, Coleman kidnaps Douglas and threatens to ice her if G doesn't return the 150 keys. Frank stages a sloppy shoot out in a fenced in warehouse. Predictably, G blasts Coleman. When Alexis confesses that she is an undercover cop, G blasts her at point blank and walks out.Altogether, "Belly 2" is bad, really bad. This street level gangsta flick does nothing that you haven't seen before and done done better. Whereas redemption played a part in the original "Belly," redemption has nothing to do with anything here. At fade-out, a wounded G staggers around from a firefight and vows to keep on doing what he does best. He displays no remorse. Skip this inferior fluff.

After reading all of these commentaries, I now comprehend the reason why I fell asleep on it. While the originial "Belly" wasn't exactly a rated "A" movie, it at least had a bit of realism. This movie appears that it was titled as a namesake in order to gain an audience. Now as far as Shari Headley.....Damn, does sistah gurl need work that bad? I know she's been out of the game (no pun intended) for quite some time, but to make an appearance on a "C" (I'm really being nice w/this rating) rated movie w/displaced acting is pitiful. Although I loved Michael K. William's role as Omar on "The Wire," he could have sat this one out. Oh yeah...and the walk-on of "Snoop"......was a semi "Wire" reunion really necessary for the drug game effect in this wannabe gangsta flix? Gimme a friggin' break! This was soooooo not worth my time viewing. But hey, at least I got a great nap outta it.

After the success of the first Belly movie it was inevitable that a spin off would happen. And just like most spin offs it is never as good as the first. Belly 2 is what traffic is to a free way. Bad. It has as far as I can tell no real plot. But you probably guess it! Yes thats right folks the same generic urban gangster plot that uses so much stero typing that it makes me want to puke. I don't care if the Game is in this movie. This movie is a cash cow with designed for 13 years old who have nothing better to do than watch junk. Please I beg of you do not watch this movie. It is terrible and just plain wrong. And if you think I am being to harsh, you watch it and tell me if I am wrong!

This is a movie that leverages the great work of Hype Williams and the cast of Belly to get viewers to take a look at what is seemingly a sequel - I can assure you it is not. Game, who plays G the main character, is simply horrible. He continues his abysmal acting career with this title. Just because you think you are a gangster in your rhymes does not make you qualified to play a believable gangster in the movies, if he were good at being a gangster he would not have become a rapper - those that can't do, rap.Plot is telegraphed a mile away and is the same gangster flick you have seen dozens of times before, but if that were not bad enough, the fuzziness of the poorly shot movie will drive you crazy. Most people make better looking movies with a $500 video camera. In short I was offended by this movie's use of the Belly title and will assure you that there is no way in the world it depicts any realism or lives up to the original's quality. I would re-title this movie, Belly 2: Unbelievable, Gangster Fantasy - I would like a refund for the time I wasted viewing this garbage.
