5.0 out of 5 stars American Psycho 2, Sep 14 2007

This review is from: American Psycho 2 (DVD)

I thought this movie was hilarious! A fun horror-comedy you can eaisly enjoy if you don't base it on the first installment. The only connection to the original American Psycho is the opening scene where Patrick Bateman is killed (So if you can get passed that you just might like it). Give it a try.

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked it!, Mar 9 2004

This review is from: American Psycho 2 (DVD)

Hey, it ain't Citizen Kane, but if you want to see a cool, twisted, and cheezy murder flick it's pretty cool. Also seeing William Shatner and Jackie from That 70's Show start to get it on was pretty wild. It's not really funny like the first one was, but it's still enjoyable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Why did they bother??, Dec 16 2003

This review is from: American Psycho 2 (DVD)

Not really a sequel to AMERICAN PSYCHO, this is basically just a direct to DVD hackjob (courtesy of writers Alex Sanger & Karen Craig, & director Morgan J. Freeman- I'm not sure if he's a relation) made to try & cash in on that movie's success. Obviously, they failed.
Mila Kunis plays Rachael Newman, a student of Behavioural Sciences at Quantico who happened to witness the brutal murder of her babysitter as a girl at the hands of Patrick Bateman, the original AMERICAN PSYCHO, so in retaliation she kills him. The police never link her to the crime so as a result of this Rachael has discovered she enjoys killing & decides to devote the rest of her life to killing other psychos as a form of retribution in order to better understand how they think & advance her career prospects in the FBI. She thinks of herself as "the Robin Hood of serial killers".
Ironically, her college professor is none other than James T. Kirk... woops, I mean Robert Starkman (William Shatner) the FBI profiler who caught Bateman.
This movie (almost) recreates the "microwaved cat" scene from Bret Easton Ellis's original novel. But that's about it. One of those "Why did they bother?" sequels, loosely & clumsily tied to the original (a la THE RAGE: CARRIE 2). Add to this some of the stupidest gore scenes ever put on film & the notion that we're supposed to believe that cute college girls are attracted to pudgy old Bill Shatner! The story is stupid, the dialogue is stupid, the ending is stupid, but AMERICAN PSYCHO 2 will probably be remembered as "the movie where Captain Kirk got eviscarated". None of the actors here have the charisma Christian Bale showed as Bateman (still his best performance in my opinion). Avoid this, & stick with the original. If "sequels" like this continue to be green-lighted then you may want to keep your eyes peeled for FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 12: JASON VS SPOCK. The machete versues logic: something this movie lacks- sharpness & intelligence. Also appearing in the film is Geraint Wyn-Davies, best known from the cult TV show FOREVER KNIGHT.
DVD extras include the trailer, commentary tracks & an alternate opening). If you still care.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wow.
I don't mean 'Wow.' as a compliment. It's rare that a movie comes out that is so bad that it makes you laugh. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars No Good
Well its a stupid movie with a stupid plot, but Mila Kunis is quite good, I dig her a lot. Someone should put her in a real movie and see how she handles it.
