cmulligan12 It was very funny. Nothing wrong with it at all. Cut it some slack its got its funny parts. Sure its no original but what is.It had its moments where it is dumb. The Hanson brothers add a bit of funny humor back to the movie. The original can not be topped. Nothing can top that it was so funny. But the sequel is not that bad. The acting could of been better and the plot could of been funnier but it was pretty good. All together if your a hockey fan you can find some humor in it. There are many sports movies above this though. Miracle is by far the best hockey movie ever made. Slapshot 2 may have been viewed as awful but you have to go into it with an open mind. Thats for sure. There's parts where it is very very good and parts where its awful but come on people cut it some slack and laugh about it. Its a good movie deep down.
kersus This is a fun, enjoyable film that captures some of the essence of being a hockey player. It tries to continue the first movie but has a lighter feel to it (less drama). They tried to make similar characters to the original SlapShot instead of new unique characters and some of that feels awkward - especially the sex-obsessed character. He's a little tacked on and the T&A wasn't needed. The Hansons are older but still wild and entertaining. All in all, this is a film that left me smiling and is an essential movie to have on the shelf of any hockey fan.This film does make some meaningful jabs at the entertainment industry and the inability for "bigwigs" to understand what people really want to see. It's like they were seeing into the future of what the NHL is becoming, and showing what's wrong with it.The acting is satisfactory. It won't blow your mind, but no one is terrible. Except for a couple T&A scenes and a little swearing, it could even be a good kids movie.
SP_PB23_15 I love this movie. I don't think it's a waste of time or money. Most people don't like it because they are comparing it to the first Slap Shot, but I don't really count it as a sequel to that movie because the only thing linking them together are Hanson Brothers playing for the same Federal League. In the movie Linden is torn between two things, A side show hockey league, or the thing he loves the most, "Old-Time Hockey". Even though Linden switches back and forth on his decisions, Miller refuses to give in to it because he feels that he still has a chance at the NHL. Over all, I loved the movie, it has some fresh lines coming from Miller, some great hockey moves, and a great story line.
Framedogg This movie has no originality, Paper thin characters, and a plot that missed the heart of the first movie. I don't even see how they can or would dare to call this a Slapshot movie. The original was all REAL HOCKEY this is 90% Computer Generated trash. The original was fall on the floor hilarious, I didn't even crack a smile at this waste. The director had his head up his rear when he was making this movie, because every time it shows the Charston Cheifs owner (BTW in the last movie didn't they move the Cheifs to Minnesota?) it is in a tight head shot. The whole idea of the first film was to have fun and bring the hockey attitude out and it did that very well. This plays out more like a D grade drama with some poorly executed jokes stolen from the original movie.F- Avoid like the plauge!
