This is my first chance of watching this film. It is one I was excited to see since I enjoyed the first one so much. I was maybe even a little too excited to see it.... hoping that I wasn't expecting too much and setting myself up for disappointment. I found that I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I think I enjoyed it just as much as the first part. The first one is a little longer then this one. But this one didn't need to be as long... it didn't have to tell the origin story. While I have heard some people say this one wasn't as good as the first part.... I also heard (even more) people say if you liked the first one... you will like this one as well. And those are the people I find myself agreeing with. I am blanking out on his name already... but I liked the character that could make anything (or anyone) decay with a simple touch. I am not familiar with the comics... so not sure if he is a character from them... but I wouldn't be surprised if he is.

Over-all... I have to recommend this one. Especially if you enjoyed the first one.

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

19. Time Bomb
Original Air Date: 4/28/2004
Although Illyria rescues Gunn, Angel realizes she must be killed after her body begins a deadly physical breakdown which could unleash enough power to destroy the world.

Guest Stars:
Jaime Bergman
Jeff Yagher
Adam Baldwin

My Thoughts:
I loved how this one began... I really got a kick out of how Illyria saved Gunn from the Hell Dimension. But over-all while a decent episode... it is not one I cared too much for.

My Rating:
