Summary: Even worse than the first...
Review: ...and that's saying alot.The movie goes nowhere fast. With a plot as transparent as cellophane and a solidly second-string cast (couldn't they afford ANYONE we have heard of), the movie wastes our time with some serious implausibilities spliced together with laughable dialogue and a downright silly ending. Did the producers really think that this film covered any new territory that the first missed? It seems that both are based on the same book. Now, I don't plan on reading said book anytime soon, but it seems to me that when you make a sequel, you might want to have a few original ideas to make the vehicle interesting. Just a suggestion...

Summary: Fantastic Idea, but Poor Plot
Review: I don't know how Universal hurt a movie that had such a great idea, but couldn't produce it correctly. It is hard to screw up this story. You have a story about a secret society, one of the most powerful in the world, and instead of developing that plot, it looked as though this was a skit on Saturday Night Live making fun of the story itself. The acting was particularly poor and it was hard to have a strong level of empathy with any of the characters. Not one stands out. All the characters appear shady, dark, depressing, and yet, it is quite clear that not all of the characters deserved this trait. We didn't really learn that much about the secret society (other than it likes to keep secrets) and the school the students were attending. Where is it? Yale, I presume; but there is little discussion on what the students are like who aren't in the secret society. I think this movie could have been done much better.

Summary: IT IS BORING
Review: I have seen the the previous Skulls movie and I was mainly satisfied with it, but when I watched skulls 2 I felt like it was an amateour's movie. I feel more stupid that I bought the DVD. Beside the main personage Ryan, nobody else has anything to do with the movie. Do yourself a favor and ignore this movie. It is not worth.

Summary: The original reborn......... with bad acting
Review: I immediately wanted to see this film because the first one was so good. From the first few minutes I lost attention fast because of poor acting and a week script. They derived the whole movie around the first one. The main character seems a little unaware of how a skull is supposed to act and he wanders around trying to act JUST like Joshua Jackson. You will see very similar scenes and characters trying to repeat what has already been cast in the first one. I saw little difference overall between the two movies except for repeat performances and bad acting. I hate to say it but this was a waste of film.

Summary: Skulls II
Review: I loved the movie. It is a solid rental
Rating:
Summary: Pathetic Copy of the first movie
Review: I really enjoyed The Skulls but was sorely dissapointed by the sequel. The movie is jumpy, there is no characterization, the plot developtment isn't there, and there is in general no suspense whatsover. Watch the original and forget the sequel.

Summary: Better Than Average Rental
Review: I was browsing through my rental place when I saw this dvd and decided to pick this up. The first Skulls had a good premise and a great cast (the ultra hot Leslie Bibb a extra plus to it) but this review isn't about that movie its about the sequel. The Skulls 2 has the same basic premise as the first one. Guy joins Skulls, guy sees wrong-doings by Skull members, guy gets set up by the Skulls, guy uses smarts to outwit Skull members all the while getting the girl. I hope I didn't spoil the movie for anyone by revealing the good guy winning. Like it would happen any other way anyways. This straight to video movie has an above average production and a nice cast. Robin Dunne is a good actor although I see him more as a tv actor than a movie actor. The pacing of the movie was great all the way until the end, which didn't seem like a climax to the film to me. More as if it just happened and then the film stopped. Secondary charecters which are prominant in the beginning have little to do with the end. All in all a good rental. See it if you liked the first one.
