This movie I thought in some ways, was better than the first. The profanity was less extreme and there was more humor to this sequel than the original. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching the first Major League, but this is a sequel that does a good job continuing where the first one left off and I think that Omar Epps did a good job playing Willy Mays Hays even though most people probably disagree with me on that.

The series (all 3 ) are excellent in baseball comedy. These last two really bring out more of the major characters before they went on to better things.

I had already seen the movie on VHS so I enjoyed it just as much on DVD. I didn't think it was a good a Major Leaque 1.

i'm of two minds about this movie.on the one hand,i thought it was
funnier than the first,with some very comical scenes.on the other
hand,to me,the movie felt preachy and schmaltzy in the inspiration
dept.i found it a bot too heavy handed.there is a running gag involving
a "bandwagon jumping" fan in the stands that got old and tired
quickly.also,the story was a bit of a stretch,with some big leaps in
logic.yeah,i know,this type of movie is not always driven by logic,but
it was still a bit too much to believe,even so.having said that,the
movie was quite entertaining.i gave the first "Major League" movie a
3.5/5 and for me,Major League 2" is also a 3.5/5

While this isn't the instant classic that the first MAJOR LEAGUE movie was, I actually like the sequel as well as the original.

The only thing really missing from the first film is Wesley Snipes as center fielder Willie Mays Hayes, but Omar Epps does a nice job in his place.

So what if you know that they're going to pull if off from the outset...it's all about the journey right?

Bob Uecker makes the film!

Some people would say it doesn't live up to the first one, but I think it does, and it may even be better.

The Clevelend Indians are back, and better than ever. Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn is trying to throw curveballs, Willie Mayes Hayes tries to become a power hitter, Pedro Sorano converts to Buddhism, and more. It has some really high points, and it kept me laughing.

My favorite are the Chinese guys who clean up the field after the games. They're really funny.

Overall, it's a great DVD for a great price. Buy it!

this movie is almost exactly the same as the first with some subtle differences it is funny though

Pretty good sequel. I like the returners.
Rick Vaughn(Charlie Sheen) tries to clean up his act but his speed gets slower and he gets in a slump.
Jake Taylor(Tom Berenger) becomes a coach who helps rookie catcher Rube Baker with his problems throwing the ball back to the catcher.
Willie Mayes Hayes(Omar Epps) hits long balls and keeps saying his leg hurts.
Pedro Cerrano(Dennis Haysbert) stops practicing voo-doo and keeps hitting pop flies.
Roger Dorn(Corbin Bernsen) buys the team, has to sell it back to Rachel Phelps (Margaret Whitton), then activates himself and is benched the entire season.
Lou Brown (James Gammon) is back to manage the Indians and then gets cancer.

Now the new Faces:
Jack Parkman (David Keith) is a slugger catcher who is arrogant and hates his teammates, later he gets traded to the Chicago White Sox.
Komakazi Tanaka(Takaaki Ishibashi) comes from Japn in the Jack Parkman trade.
Rube Baker(Eric Bruskotter) is a rookie catcher who can't throw the ball back to the pitcher.

major league 2 had some funny moments but it is far from the classic of the first one

I saw this movie in 1994 at the theater, and I went into it hoping for as good a movie as the original. Of course, with sequels that is largely the "Stuff of legend", and this movie proved to be no exception. It was still an enjoyable film, however. Most of the great cast from the original returned for this installment, with the major exception being Wesley Snipes as "Willie Mays Hayes." He was replaced by Omar Epps, who did what turned out to be a decent job with the role. At the time, I wished they would have written it so that Hayes had gotten traded instead of hiring another actor to play him, since I thought Snipes was the ultimate for the part. However, Epps later won me over for his outstanding performance in "Higher Learning", so he is OK in my book. As far as the DVD for this movie is concerned, it has the all-important "Widescreen" feature, which for us purists is the only real way to watch a movie. The trailer for this film as well as some bonus trailers are included, but that's about it for extras. The sound quality of this DVD is great and the price is affordable. Although not as good as the original film, this one is worth picking up. One last thing about this is that, despite the lack of extras, at least Warner Bros. did their part and released Major League 2 and 3 on DVD. I have to agree with the above reviewer in wondering why Paramount has not gotten their act together and released the original "Major League" on a DVD of their own? A step in the right direction for them was getting "The Bad News Bears" out recently. Until then, I was starting to think they had something against baseball movies. I guess all we can do is keep hoping and dreaming that it will show up one of these days. Let's all hope that the delay is attributed to them taking the time to do it right and include a commentary track with the director or better yet, the hilarious Bob Uecker. Until that day arrives, the DVD of "Major League II" would be a worthwhile purchase.
