Well Deserved Praise

One of the best films i have seen

Fantastic!

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This is a worthy sequel to the successful movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy" from 1980. Perhaps in its build up and in terms of professionalism this is even a better movie than the first one.The story flows better from start till finish, though the movie still decides on putting in a bit too many characters and plot-lines. At times you feel that the movie could had done without a couple of plot-lines and characters. The movie at times has difficulties putting its focus on its many different characters equally, especially toward the end, in which N!xau basically gets underused too much.Still the movie is a real fun time. It's a real simple and silly movie, that you simply need to enjoy for what it is. Its slapstick humor works well again and provides the movie with plenty of laughs in it.The animal wild life of Africa also plays a big role again, even more so than in the first movie. It's real nice to see what they had achieved with the animals in this movie, that at times certainly give away better performances than some of the actors within the movie.It's surprising how good and fun this sequel actually is!8/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

This sequel has the same innocence and joy of the first one, just not as much. It's nice, but gets a little self-conscious. Part of the joy and purity of the first one is that it hadn't looked in the mirror too much. This one - well, it's still good, it'll lighten your heart to watch it, but you'll check your watch once or twice. The first movie moved on the premise one Coke bottle in the garden of Eden could corrupt it. (They did a totally believable job of it, too, you ought to check out the first picture.) Civilization is a little heavier handed this time. This picture has some of that contrived feel that most sequels have. But it's still a pleasure. How often do you see real joy in a picture, family love, innocence - and lots of laughs? A slapstick cops and robbers type of plot. The kids loved it.

This sequel is definitely not as insightful about the nature of man as the original, but there're still more than enough slapsticks, romance and family drama to make up for it.The two children are particularly adorable, their strength comes from their innocence, without the precocity that has become the hallmark of Hollywood. Their storyline is thus the most heart-warming of all.The two soldiers from opposing forces provide much of the slapstick of movie, and they are very good, with exceptionally funny facial expressions.And let¡¯s not count Lena Farugia and Hans Strydom out, who play a doctor of law from New York and a zoologist on assignment ¨C their opposite-attract romance is rather stereotypical but Lena in particular is such a charming delight that I forget how much Strydom looks like Tom Selleck, instead, wonder why Lena had not since made another movie - yes, really sad :( - she could¡¯ve been a big star.So in the end, one very funny little film, worth every penny and more to rent or buy. Keep some band-aids with you while watching, as you may get some stitches in your side.

Sequels rarely come close to the original, and this is no exception. With the exception of N!xau, most of the cast has changed. It's an attempt to recapture the magic of the first movie, but it falls short. Yet, I still love it, and feel it's still a good movie, since there is a weaving of multiple stories. It's a nice film for fans of the original.
