You don't see the words excellent sequel together very often but this film lives up to them. I have not laughed out loud in a movie in a very long time. I almost couldn't catch my breath from laughing so hard. This movie is just awesome. Kudos Mr. Smith and crew. Every part of this movie is worth watching from the opening credits to the very last frame of the film. Kevin Smith plays to the fans of his films and we appreciate every last bit of it. We are rabid and loyal and this film does not disappoint. At the theatre I watched it in the entire audience cheered when it began and were clapping and cheering at the end. I could have watched it again immediately.

Abysmal- Kevin Smith is a facile, pointless director. This film is boring, trite, annoying and just plain unfunny.The dialogue sounds like something from a cut scene from a terrible video game (i.e. stifled, overtly simplistic and boring). THe man is practically directing this film with the purpose of vilifying anyone with any sense of morality or decency. I'm tired of this world giving credence to the cretins- Kevin Smith is just a pathetic, delusional loser that has exploited the malaise of the world (and lost individuals within it) to further his own self propelled vision of nothing. Hail the king. The affirmation of nothing propped up by the metaphorical destruction of any individual paradigms makes me sick. That bearded minstrel needs a good kicking. Watch it and regret it

I enjoy Kevin Smith's films and I was looking forward to this one, but I was a little disappointed by this effort. There are some laughs throughout, especially Randall's hilarious impression of the "Lord Of The Rings" trilogy. Jay and Silent Bob are their usual selves, though a bit subdued here. For me, however, a lot of the gags felt forced and the story seemed rather contrived and clichéd. Fifteen minutes into the movie, it was clearly obvious how it would eventually turn out and this lack of plot twist disappointed me. In my opinion, much of the supporting cast's roles did not really seem too well thought-out. While not entirely without its charms, the movie had a "by-the-numbers" vibe to me. The inevitable climax was a tad sappy for my tastes. These characters are played-out and I hope Smith introduces us to some new ones next time around.
