Worth seeing, but not as good as the original
19 August 2002
Overall it was a fair movie. After the initial action sequence it became a bit boring until the kids reached the island. Then it became much more interesting. There was lots of interesting and thrilling action with a few good laughs.

I thought the ending was more than a little weak. Not that I expected a believable ending, but maybe one that was a little more consistent with the rest of the story.

While the two primary children actors did a good job with their acting, the other children actors were not as good. Most of their lines were forced and fake.

I paid money to see this movie in a theater only because I have children that really enjoyed the original movie and wanted to see the sequel. If I were alone, I would have waited and rented it on DVD or waited until it was on broadcast television...
