"Checkered Ninja 2" was an ok-but-still-mediocre sequel that was for me a little bit better than the first film. I didn't like the first one so much, and this one wasn't so good either, but this one did at least have some more action, and the jokes seemed more intelligent and better than from the original. I know that these movies tries to be controversial animated films with inappropriate sexual humor and violence, but for me, an animated film is an animated film, and try to keep topics like that in a live-action movie. But well, let's just talk about it overall. The story? Well, it have a good kick-off, Aske, the human friend of the magical Ninja doll is back, and he is going on vacation, because, of course! You know, have you noticed recently that animated sequels are always about some family trip? Yes, this one was something like that, traveling to Thailand meeting on dangerous people, new characters, and strip club ladies. The script was ok, I can't complain to much, it was written on the same scale level as the first one, so not much to say. The music was a good positive side of the film that I really appreciated. I liked the music in the first one to, and I like the similar score and great music for action! The animation is probably the reason why I'm not the biggest fan. You know, for me it looks like a video game. Very basic, looks probably like from some cheap low-budget cartoon on Cartoon Network or something. The action sequences saves it a little, and have some nice parts with ok slap stick. But if I have to conclude it all it was just basic, you know. It just came, and now it's gone, already forgotten about it. But if you like exaggerated comedies, this one may be something for you, but I personally didn't like it too much, still, ok for the one-time watch.
