This sequel is downright dreadful. Lacks any of the creativeness, suspense, etc. that the original had. The original was a new idea, and a well-told story. For this sequel, they changed the way the main character is able to travel through time from words to pictures, and we barely saw anything of his life, we barely get anything from the characters that might cause us to care about them in any way, and the movie just plods along without seeming to care whether the audience is going to be engaged, or care what happens, until the very ridiculously stupid, predictable conclusion.
