Michael Sullivan This was a disappointment compared to the original. Why is it that sequels often try to do similar things, similar plots, similar jokes? Not necessary! A sequel to me must be original to some degree, too. The beginning was promising, the middle part had enormous lengths and very bad scripting and the end was bland. I loved the characters though. Believable like the original. However, Poindexter seemed much too talkative and sometimes even made sense, almost as if Milton Waddams went to a speech-therapist. I did not like the setting at all and the hotel scenes were very far fetched.All in all rather disappointing. Too bad.

Aaron1375 This movie is very typical of sequels of earlier years. Back in the day sequels would typically do less business than the original film so for the sequel not much effort is really taken to build upon the films. This film has the nerds going to an event in a nice resort town and of course they are once again picked on, because the popular people just have nothing better to do than harass these few guys instead of drinking and partying. Of course, there is revenge to be had, but not as much revenge this time for the nerds, they take way more bumps in this one and dish out a whole lot less pain this time around. They get stuck in a dump, they get fooled by what they perceive as a sacrifice in a scene that they should be the ones to come up with not the jock types, and they get dumped off on a deserted island. The poor guys do not get to do much other than punch a person this time. The thing they did with Ogre is stupid at the end and once again Booger just does not seem to fit with the nerds as he once again comes across as a guy who is going to be in a regular fraternity and being the cut up. He meets a man in this one that sort of mentors him. Like I said, there is not really a whole lot of revenge of the nerds in this one, they did a whole lot more in the first movie to get back at their tormentors. They are also a nerd down as Anthony Edwards does not return, but they pick up another one to take his place. The next film in this series would go straight to television which is almost worst than direct to video, and thankfully there has yet to be a remake of this franchise that started out with a few laughs, but quickly downgraded with this entry.

Cryptfan2 Now, even though I didn't like Revenge of the Nerds but what was the point of making a sequel? Aside from making money, of course.I mean as the song The Touch goes "After all is said and done" pretty much describes about making a sequel. I mean, the first film told its story and didn't leave any possibilities of a sequel, it had something to say and it was done, what more is there to tell? Now, as usual, the nerds, the jocks and the rest of the characters are annoying as hell even after a few years after the first film. The new actors who played the new characters didn't exactly help, I mean they're like Mary Sues and Garu Stus. What the hell, man? The script sucks, nothing more.But the music is actually good except for the song the "Nerds" sang, don't know the name but I won't bother to ask what it is. but the song "Paradise" is actually pretty good, it was pumping and energetic. The sequel is actually another case where the soundtrack is better than the movie itself.Overall, Nerds II gets 2/10. Off to the third film I go...

sol- A terribly silly but awfully amusing little sequel, it may be a touch predictable, and it is missing Thomas Newman's excellent theme song, but having the same likable characters on hand helps it to be equally as fun as the first film. Some of the jokes are really hilarious, and arguably I would say that it is funnier than the first film. I would not definitely call it better, but it is certainly at least on the same level, with an interesting charm radiating from the nerdy characters. And there is another song to take the place of Tom Newman's ditty: an amusing little number called "No on Fifteen". The film seems to get a lot of negative feedback, but I cannot agree - it may not be a great film, like the first, but it is by all means amusing, like the first.
