The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

When I saw the set list for this DVD, I thought this would be golden. Instead it was as I remember seeing them live in 92, kind of bland. I enjoy listening to their albums (Bug and Greenmind are the best IMO, but Dinosaur Jr. live reminds me of a polished high school band. I was excited when they played Chunks, but Lou had no aggression, sure it is 25 years later, but it just sums up what I thought of this performance, bland.The strobe lights in the video are very annoying. It gets old fast.If you are a die hard fan, you might like this much more then I did? I enjoy them and consider myself a fan, but prefer to listen to their albums vs. watching them live. I would have loved to see footage of them in their pinnacle in the late 80's. If this DVD would have been a mix of live shows from years past to present, I think this would have been so much better.
