It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

"Animal 2" is just as good as the original.The plot: James "Animal" Allen (Rhames) is back in jail for a crime he didn't commit. On the outside, his son James Jr. is framed for murder. The only way James Jr. stays out of jail is that Animal fights Mexican and Black prisoners.As usual, Ving puts in a great performance as James. Shannon as Darius makes you forget that Terrence Howard was the original character. He has a great speech towards the end. There's also some decent fight scenes. The only problem with that is during the fights the movie repeats the same music over and over again. But that's not a big deal.The movie lays the groundwork for an "Animal 3" which I would look forward to seeing."Animal 2" is just as good as the first one, which is surprising for a DTV sequel.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

I had just recently watched the Animal 1. Animal 1 was much better than anticipated and I actually rated it an 8 as in a better than average which would be a 7.Several weeks later I came across Animal 2. I looked forward to a continuation of the story line and this film did deliver on that aspect.To me there were only several short coming.The actor playing the youngest son was too old physically. Well acted but the age threw me off a bit.The post fight "roars" came across as very artificial. I believe Animal 1 had a similar scene but there it really fit.

Not a lot happens until Animal's Ving Rhames) son (K.C. Collins) is arrested to force Animal to fight for a gang leader (Conrad Dunn).While his other son, Darius (Vicellous Reon Shannon) is trying to free his brother, a new attorney (Deborah Valente) is assigned the case. Animal has to cool things off on the outside so he can solve the problem inside.Sure, there are plot holes you can drive a semi through, but it is mindless entertainment with Ving Rhames providing enough excitement to keep you interested.The ending was predictable...and it wasn't.

If you already liked Animal 1, than you gotta watch the second movie, but also without seeing the first one this movie is just great !! The Movie is about the big OG Animal who is at prison. (After what happened in the first movie). A lot of fishy business is going on there in cause of the prisons priest and he wants to get Animal involved.Outside of prison his two sons try to live a normal life without a mother and a dad in jail. And than everything goes crazy because of.... I won't tell.This movie is a great action filled and thrilling drama (especially thrilling). You wouldn't expect such grate dialogs and actors and this movie has really a great story. And it's just great to watch Animal beating up others while he's on the other side being a caring father, Vyng Rhames is just the perfect actor for this role.In my opinion one of the best movies of 2007. Just a must-look.
