Summary: TREMORS 2: AFTERSHOCKS
Review: This is the sequel to Tremors, a monster movie that I simply loved. This movie is just as fun, although not quite as funny or gory, but I still loved it. The movie is about Earl Basset (Fred Ward), a survivor from the first movie, being called to a Mexican oil field to take care of a bunch of Graboids that are eating the workers. Helping him is a young man named Grady Hoover (Christopher Gartin) and a scientist named Kate Reilly (Helen Shaver). But there is more trouble then expected, so Earl contacts his bud Burt Gummer (Michael Gross), who brings an arsenal of his toys to the field to kick some Graboid toosh. But it turns out that the Graboids have a second stage in life.... So, the group has to fight them off. This movie is really, really good. It's one of the best monster movie sequels ever!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Now I'm livin' with the aftershock!
Review: I've been a Fred Ward fan since "The Adventures of Remo Williams", so it was understandable that my friend cousinpaco rated this movie so highly. For years, he told me that I need to watch it, but I was hesitant since I hadn't seen the first movie.

IT DIDN'T MATTER!

I finally gave-in to cousinpaco's badgering and watched "Tremors 2" over the weekend. This movie is so incredibly good, I'm at a total loss for words. Featuring Mexican Graboids (i.e. human-eating sand worms), over-the-top characters (thank you Michael Gross), and a clever storyline, this movie provides some top-notch entertainment.

With plenty of gore and cheap special effects - cousinpaco was right - "Tremors 2" is a real treat!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Sequel
Review: Although this movie falls a bit short of the original, it doesn't fall much. Bringing back Fred Ward and Michael Gross from the original movies, it takes the action to Mexico, where the characters of Earl and Burt start out fighting the same creatures from the original movie, which they find simple enough, but then something happens: the creatures change. Now they have to find a completely different way to fight them. Like the first movie, this one blends humor and horror well. It also combines a remote location (an oil field) and throws in a love interest for Earl (his partner Val got the girl in the first movie). If you enjoyed the original "Tremors", you'll enjoy this one as well. But don't miss the third movie, "Tremors 3: Back to Perfection"!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "I feel I was denied need to know infomation!"
Review: Tremors 2: Aftershocks is just as good as the oringal, with one twist. The "graboids" are now above ground and hunt by seeing body heat. Earl and Burt are reunited in this movie. It just isn't a "Tremors" movie without that Burt with his love of weapons and high explosives.
One of my favorite lines is "Val Married a good woman. Why would he want to die?!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Return Of The Graboids
Review: In Tremors 2, Earl is asked to take a quick trip to Mexico for some Grabboid extermination. For newbies to Tremors, Grabboids are huge killer worms that live underground that are REALLY strong and have long snake-like tongues to attack surface dwellers. After Earl and his new partner realize they need some help. Burt, one of Earl's partners from the first Grabboid attack. Burt the one-man army brings enough ammo to start a nuclear holocaust. After some more Grabboid hunting. Earl and his new partner, Grady, find a Grabbid that seems to be sick. Shortly after, it releases six new creatures from its insides. These creatures are small, two legged animals with Infrared(Heat) sensors on their heads. Named "Shriekers", they prove more of a nuisance than the Grabboid since they travel above ground, are nearly as strong, and travel in groups. Earl and Grady find themselves stranded as they wreck their car and the shriekers take out the radio tower. Burt also runs into trouble in an ambush situation. Tremors 2 proves to lie up to the previous installment and mixes Thrills with Comedy. A definant FIVE STARS.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Surprisingly Good Sequel.
Review: Usually sequels are not nearly as good as their precursers, especially direct to video sequels. TREMORS 2 proves to be an exception. Though the budget was smaller than the original film, this movie proves almost as enduring. The special effects are great (they look better than many Hollywood multiple-million dollar flicks) and the plot, though flawed, makes for a great story.

Several years after Graboids were first spotted and killed in Perfection, Nevada the monsters have somehow reappeared in an abundant oil field in Mexico. The owner offers Earl Bassett (Fred Ward) ...[half a million dollars] for each of the monsters he kills. Unlike his partner from the first movie (Kevin Bacon), Earl was cut off from most royalties of the Graboids merchandise and spent what cash he earned on an ostrich farm that is failing. Reluctant at first, Earl agrees and is joined by eager newcomer Grady Hoover (Chris Garten). The two travel to Mexico and soon find that the job is much bigger than they can handle alone and call Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) in for backup. However, the worms have a few secrets of their own that make them much more dangerous than before.

TREMORS 2 contains the same blend of comedy and adventure that has helped make the first movie a cult classic. Fred Ward is quite entertaining to watch as Earl and Michael Gross practically steals the movie reprising his role as the one-man army of Burt... Overall, the movie is fun to watch and reminded me of a cross between PREDATOR and GREMLINS. What a great combination.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good fun, especially for a direct-to-video sequel.
Review: Fred Ward returns as handyman Earl Bassett, and has just been hired to kill another batch of graboids in a Mexican oil refinery. Everything runs smoothly, until they mutate. Direct-to-video sequel is much better than you might think, with good special effects, good performances (nice chemistry between Ward and Helen Shaver), and a good sense of mindless fun. It takes too long to actually get going (A good 60 minutes before the mutation occurs) but once it does, the last half-hour approaches the same exciting thrills and big laughs the original generated.
*** 1/2 out of *****

Summary: tremors 2 bettershocks
Review: great second better than the first i bought it and loved it great worms how the worms turn cool and superb specialeffects.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not as good as #1
Review: This one was not even close to as good as the first one, it had a little better graphics, more graboids, but it was stupid! It is okay for one of those "So dumb it's funny" movies, just to sit and watch. Take my advice, the first one is the very best, one of my personal favorite movies!
