Featured review
The first Lavalantula (2015) was a surprisingly entertaining movie especially as it had the same vibe as the Sharknado franchise. Another blend of two things (Lava and Tarantulas) and starring three of the original stars of the 1980's Police Academy movies I had a lot of fun with it.
I was surprised to see a sequel created, even more so when I realised all the cast would be reprising their roles and was eager for more flamey spiders.
Though not bad it didn't live up to my expectations and in a way felt like a rushed sequel cashing in on the current popularity of these cheesy scyfy original movies.
For a start Guttenbergs character has gone from endearing to deeply annoying and that hurt the film, the amount of movie references packed into the film as well looked desperate and was sorely not needed.
Overall 2 Lava 2 Lantula is a definite watch for fans of the first but if this is the direction these movies will go then best stop here.
The Good:
Still do like me some flamey spiders
One particularly horrific death scene
Martin Kove is excellent as always
The Bad:
Guttenberg is deeply annoying this time round
Things I learnt from this movie:
Actors are apparently trained to fly grade A military helicopters for roles
4hrs of training is still fresh in a persons mind 25yrs later
Somewhere through the years Marion Ramsey forgot how to act
