What they sayMy Thoughts
I found this to be a nice little mystery story. Kevin spacey plays the role well, and the story develops at a decent enough pace to keep things interesting, while not revealing too much. I also like the ending. Without telling too much about it, let's just say it may leave you scratching your head as to what really happened. And I like that. Make the viewer question the events. Make the viewer think. And this movie does it well. Nothing too fancy, but it's effective.

One thing I'd like to know though: How did Kevin Spacey manage to eat an unpeeled banana without flinching.

Urban Legends 2 - Final Cut, a review by Rich

Urban Legends 2 - Final Cut



The making of a horror movie takes on a terrifying reality for students at the most prestigious film school in the country in URBAN LEGENDS: FINAL CUT, the suspenseful follow-up to the smash hit URBAN LEGEND.
At Alpine University, someone is determined to win the best film award at any cost - - even if it means eliminating the competition. No one is safe and everyone is a suspect. URBAN LEGENDS: FINAL CUT is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that will keep you guessing until the shocking climax. Starring Jennifer Morrison (STIR OF ECHOES), Matthew Davis (TIGERLAND), Joseph Lawrence (TV's Blossom), Anthony Anderson (ME, MYSELF & IRENE) Hart Bochner (DIE HARD) and Loretta Devine (from the original URBAN LEGEND).

Poorly executed horror slash film, little suspense and predictable storyline and outcome.
Not a patch on the first film, this uninspiring sequel was clearly designed to cash in on the dvd sales, but sadly with it's young cast it does not reach expectations. It is generally a corny, boring plot and the humour, horror, gore etc are all second rate. Not quite sure after the first murder what the Urban Legends were?
Much better alternatives in this genre to choose from.

Plot:
The crew of the Odyssey, a space shuttle orbiting above the Earth's surface, looks on in horror as the Earth explodes before their eyes. Commander Chuck Taggart (Peter Weller), a geneticist (Sebastian Roche), Taggart's son (Christopher Gorham), a TV newswoman (Leslie Silva) and an astronaut (Tamara Craig Thomas) escape on a shuttle into space, where they're met by a mysterious being who offers to transport them back five years in time to try to save Earth. Armed only with a bit of computer code referring to "Leviathan," Taggart is determined to save the planet. But when the Odyssey crew discovers that even the smallest action on their part can quickly change the course of history in unexpected and potentially devastating ways, they must band together and proceed with caution for their rescue mission to succeed.
