Major League II Reviews

I was just a kid when saw the first installment and I thought it was pretty cool. Indeed, it was actually a decent sport feature and even though it pretty much followed the standard formula, I thought it was actually rather edgy and pretty funny, especially when I was young. I even re-watched it recently and even though the flaws were pretty obvious this time, it was still pretty entertaining and it definitely held up pretty good. Back in those days when I was young and innocent, since I really enjoyed it, I end up watching the sequel as well. Unfortunately, this 2nd installment turned out to be pretty disappointing. I mean, the 1st movie was ok but it was nothing amazing whatsoever and the material was just too fine to justify a follow-up. Nonetheless, since ‘Major League’ was mildly successful, they of course had to milk it for what it’s worth. The fact that this sequel showed up 5 years later was not a very good omen either and pretty much everyone had lost interest in these characters at that time. Still, most of the cast returned (Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, Rene Russo for a 2 minutes cameo) except for Wesley Snipes who became a major star in the mean time. To conclude, it is a rather poor sequel and it is not really worth a look, even if you enjoyed the first installment like I did.
