Sorry, this movie sucks

Best movie of this year hands down!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

I think this in fact better than the original, but it's still an awful movie. The worst thing about it might actually be its strongest point! Not only does this sequel once again have nothing to do with the games, but it has nothing to do with the original movie! Well, that might be a good thing? At least we didn't get to see that awful CGI in this film...as much. There also wasn't any use of that terrible slow motion. That being said, it's still stupid. I mean, you seriously couldn't make a movie based on either the actual source material or the original film? How lame is that? This movie's plot features characters that are looking for a witch who has a dagger and uh, that's about it. I guess it's not that stupid of a plot, but it's unbelievably dull. This movie wasn't that unpleasant to watch, mostly because there wasn't much going on screen! I found myself relaxing more watching this movie just seeing as how nothing was going on. The acting is still really bad. Like "The Mummy" it looks like there's going to be a big climax but it turns out to be very dull. Don't really expect anything good from an Uwe Boll movie.I've actually done more research on him and found out that he actually has made a few movies that aren't that bad. Whether he really tried harder or was just mocking us with this is open to interpretation. I couldn't remember any characters' names or even any actors in this movie. I guess I'm glad it wasn't a continuation of the original film. The bar for these movies is so phenomenally low I'm willing to look for any improvement at all. This is still a waste of time and hasn't made Video Game Month any easier for me. *

I always rate films I turned off as the lowest possible, and with Alone in the Dark 2, I could bear no more after only 35 minutes!I'm not a harsh judge of films, and I like to give them a chance to improve (hell, I sat through the entirety of the first one), but when the writing is such an absolute mess as this was, I knew already after 10 minutes that it had the go, and had totally given up on it after 20. The next 15 minutes were spent on me trying to use The Force to get the controller from the table.Hmm, so what's this film all about?Who cares? No, seriously, if you're curious or dumb enough to give it a go, you'll soon realise that this is a spot-on assessment.Some people die, there's some CGI mist, meant to be a ghostly witch, a dagger, some kind of infection, some weird racial transformation of the lead from the first film, some boring stuff, some nonsensical stuff... You get the point.Anyway, my summary above really does sum it all up, but for those who still need further warning: AVOID!

ALONE IN THE DARK 2 is a sequel that has virtually nothing in common with the first film except for the main character this time played by DIE ANOTHER DAY's Rick Yune but it is in a way better than the first one because it has a well put together storyline that is well fleshed out and the direction is very nicely handled, the best part is Uwe Boll didn't even direct this one.The acting is a case of hit and miss, some of cast hit their mark such as Bill Moseley and Lance Henriksen that both play their parts convincingly, the one cast member that misses the most is Rick Yune, I also saw him in a film called THE 5TH COMMANDMENT and between this one and that one, the ideal leading man he is not because he doesn't bring any energy to his character which results in him failing to carry the film.The fact that this film is better shows that the writers and directors Peter Scheers and Micheal Roesch put in more effort with this film than Uwe Boll did with the first, so take notes Mr. Boll you might learn something.

This movie was bad, but not horrible.I enjoyed Bill Moseleys performance, because, well he's awesome, but besides that, the movie was pretty shite. Plus they kill his character off pretty early on(Yeah, they kill the one interesting character in the movie less than half way through!!!) The main thing that ticked me off was that the characters made stupid choices that no logical person would think were a good idea. It was established pretty early on in the movie that bullets don't work against ghosts, so why do the the Protagonists fail to realize this, constantly trying to mow down the witchy phantom with machine gun fire?! Its like trying to kill the Blob with a knife, it ain't gonna work folks.I didn't see the ending because I was watching it online and once I reached 70 min in the movie the website showing it pulled the good ol' you must pay to watch the rest of this movie. I assume the remaining characters all die horribly and in a manner so that an Alone in the Dark 3 can never be made.
