I saw it with a gay friend & he said something to the effect of: "In my whole life I've never seen anything so - what's the opposite of homoerotic?" - and with an (older) female friend who barely stayed awake.

Despite this, I liked it, though not as much as the first one even though McG's finally realised he's directing a MOVIE and not a bunch of music videos connected only by ass-shots. But his very competence is part of the problem - the very fact that there's some attention to narrative flow (and even occasional ill-timed realism)this time means there's less room for the out-and-out goofiness of last time - now when Cameron dances it's all stylised instead of silly, and with Cameron silly is funnier.

Also don't think the references resonate in any way - the Hammerdance should be hilarious but is only amusing because it's not adding any new blood to an old joke.

Soundtrack is terrific, though.

john cleese was a bit pathetic but what do you want with a role like that. i found it very bitter to see. it made me sad. he was struggling to do something with it but what could he do?

Hilarious motorcycle scene, but I can't remember anything after that, and there was nothing as purely wonderful as the Cameron Diaz butt dance in the first one. Both movies were about 30 percent inspired with a whole lotta dud scenes...

I think the brief break into the Hammer Dance was as wonderful, but there wasn't anything as breathtaking as the shot where Crispin Glover turns and fires and the Angels peel out.
