Summary: OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!
Review: Again, I had to spend a week at another relative's house (at Grandma Robbie's this time). And just like the previous stay at another relative's house, we decided to rent a movie. And when I found Jack Frost 2: Revenge Of The Mutant Killer Snowman at this different video store, it reminded me of the time when I saw Jack Frost 1 at my Nany's house. When I loaed it into the VCR, I was expecting some kind stupid sequel, blaming the fact that most people said it was really bad, but to my surprise, I actually liked it even BETTER THAN the first, I CAN'T BELIEVE I SAID THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. It was quite different from the last: It was Christmas time again and Sheriff Sam still refuses to beleive Jack Frost is dead and gone forever, even after he help destroy him the previous Christmas. This time around, Frost attacks on a tropical island and there is a whole load of new characters (Captain Fun, of which is the most annoying of them all). And this time, anti-freeze won't save them from Jack's icy wrath! Anyway, after I saw this movie and was left breathless with laughter! HA! I watched this movie so many times, I now every peice of Dialoge in the whole movie. Well done, director Micheal Cooney for bringing the Jack Frost character back to life!
I GIVE JACK FROST 2: REVENGE OF THE MUTANT KILLER SNOWMAN A SLICIN' 5 OUTTA 5! Not to mention this DVD is UNCUT and is highly recommend it!!!!

Summary: Put The Godfather to shame
Review: Brilliance. Sheer brilliance. Never before have i seen a movie that knew EXACTLY what it wanted to be. JF2 (as my colleagues call it) knew from the very beginning that it was intended to be a huge joke on itself. The first JF (again with the colleagues) didn't understand this. It tried to be funny and slapsticky at times, but then it had some disturbingly graphic death scenes that detracted from its lighthearted fun. In JF2, the entire movie was lighthearted hilarity. Come on..."These Organica cookies are pretty darn good!" That kind of thing deserves a pat on the back. I have just recently ordered the DVD and plan to watch it thousands of times. If you don't get this movie, there's something seriously wrong with you. See a doctor. Or better yet, just stop eating and lock yourself in the basement. The rest of the world will thank me.

Summary: DASHED HOPES
Review: Expecting a worthy sequel of such a cinematic tour de force as Jack Frost 1, I was horribly disappointed with this creation. We, the viewers, hardly get to see Jack in action and when we do, he manifests himself as a poorly-done computer-generated snowman. I must admit, the paper mache costume in Jack Frost was infinitely better than this digital creation. I also wasn't a fan of the medium used in the filming of Jack Frost 2. Whereas Jack Frost 1 used real film as a medium, the use of video cameras in the sequel gave more of a feel of a soap opera than a horror movie. I also missed Jack's sharp-tongued one-liners that were so wonderfully prevalent in the first movie. All in all, Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer snowman was one of the biggest cinematic disappointments I have seen. It had such potential. My advice, immediately buy the original Jack Frost and pray that if there is a 3rd edition to the Jack Frost series, it will stay true to the form of the original.

Summary: 2 for 2 from the makers of this gem!!
Review: First off, I only saw the VHS version of this, so I won't get into any "extras". Secondly, the makers of that Michael Keaton stuff should've been SUED for what they pulled, ripping off the original that was "Jack Frost". I actually saw a mom at the store in shock to see "Jack Frost 2". Heh...not what you think, lady...

So exactly what is it? Without ruining any plot, let me say that this was as good if not better than the original, which was five stars in its own right. With b-horror, the line between glorious camp and horriblepart is so thin that many fail miserably when trying to create a flick like this, but never fear - the creators of this one stuck with the formula that worked the first time, and added enough new surprises to set this apart from the original. I'll almost swear the makers of "Leprechaun" did this one, too, since there can't be THAT many talented people not getting mainstream respect in Hollywood.

To keep this brief, let me say this: He's in the Carribean, the snowball fight is UNREAL, and he's not alone this time! Say no more....just go buy the freakin' thing!!

Summary: Hot dam, they made a sequel
Review: How yall doin folks? My name is Don mcqueen and I'm gonna review Jack Frost 2. One nights I decided to take a brisk walk, I needed to get away from my trailer park. I decided to go to the video store and look for a good movie. Well I happened to see Jack Frost 2 siting on the shelf. In desbelief I thought, "could this actually not be rented out?" Much to my surprize it was there. I of course picked it up before anyone else could and ran out. When I got home I popped it in my new vcr I got from Wal-Mart. As I watched I stayed on the edge of my seat. This script must have taken years to write. I could see how hard it was to follow up the first Jack Frost, but they did alright. I mean don't get me wrong, you're probably thinking, "Don how can Jack Frost 2 beat out Jack Frost 1,?" Now hold on there, I ain't saying that, I'm saying it was good for a sequal. The first was much better, but I'll give the sequel 3 stars for amazing graphics. After the movie I passed out and woke up two days later, the thought "wow Jack Frost 2 had some affect on me. I'm giving this 3 stars. I feel it could've gotten more if say a Mr. Don Swayze or Joe Estavez had graced the screen. Alright folks your buddy Don will be back in the future to give you some more great reviews. Signing off from the trailer park of gators breath Florida, Good night.

Summary: It dosen't get much worse than this
Review: I can honestly say that Jack Frost 2 was perhaps the worst b movie ever made, and that's saying something. I can't even believe that this movie got a theatrical release. If, however, you enjoy seeing small snowballs with fangs go on killling sprees, than it's not all that bad. I couldn't believe this was an actual movie, it looked like it was filmed with a camcorder or something. I especially enjoyed the snowman exploding in to a strange, foam like substance and the hilarious rubber K-Mart severed body parts. I give this film 1 star if you aren't watching this without the assistance of mind altering drugs, but if you are, than it's 5 stars! Watching it was interesting, actually, considering it dosen't get very cold in Africa. Stay cool, and although you may have to tie yourself to a chair to finish this movie, believe that it will be a mind-altering experience, and you will never be the same!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dumb and Dumber!
Review: I can't believe such a dumb movie has sequel. Don't waste your time. The first one was bad. However I wrote this review for fun.
Don't let me stop you from watching a stupid movie you love.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: consumer alert...
Review: I had to write in and warn potential Jack Frost 2 viewers that the version that is circulating around in the video stores (the VHS version to be specific) is void of good gore content. If you want to see this movie, which I recommend since it is a good rainy Sunday night tongue-in-cheek fest, get the DVD version that hasn't been cut to shreds!! Then you get all the eye gougings, head explosions and crushed bodies you would hope to see when you picked up the ever so taunting box at the store. Simply put, the cut version is the one you will probably see, and it sucks because of what ended up on the cutting room floor.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: actually 2 and a 1/2
Review: I have just recently seen this film and this what all I really have to say about it. 1. the acting was pretty horrible.2. how the hell did the killer snowman get to the tropical waters and why did he go there.3.the death scenes are soo stupid. I mean they didn't show how the first victim died and how that girl with the red shirt die?. Out of all this I seemed to have liked it a little,but really people this movie looks like a made for tv movie.I have one more put down for this film though. Its so bad that the front picture of the coverbox is at times better than the film itself.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun, Not as Good as the First, But Fun
Review: I have to say, I enjoyed this film very much. I mean, I knew going in that it was going to be a cheesy horror film. Just look at the cover, and you know that. And I was not disappointed. It was fun from the get go with cheesy acting (although the woman who played the main character's wife was very likeable in her role, a much beefier part than in part 1), cheesy dialogue, and tons of gore (at least on the DVD. I hear the VHS is heavily cut).

While this is a step down from part 1, in actual film grade and set design, it realizes that from the get go. This one is ten times more self referential than the first one, and also lacks any disturbing scenes (Shannon Elizibeth in the bath tub was one of those scenes in the first one) but still has BUCKETS of gore. I mean, this one has red stuff to spare. And the addition of the little snow ball nasties was a nice touch. They were cute, and very fun to watch. If only they did more CG stuff with them. And on CG, I have to say, the little bit that there was in this movie looked REALLY good for such a cheap budget.

If ya liked the first one, check this out. If you haven't seen the first one, watch that instead. Then maybe check this out. Now will someone make a Jack Frost 3!
