Don’t know why it took 8 yrs for a sequel, but the time was likely spent overwriting. Precocious kid & silly sidekick? Yep, it’s a sequel…

#140RVW: Eight Crazy Nights (2002)
Felt like I had to watch this since it’s the only Hanukkah movie I could think of. Crude even for Sandler, easily worst holiday movie ever.

#140RVW: The Bourne Identity (2002)
Damon seemed an odd choice, but owns this; depth & intensity. But it’s the scenes with the brilliant Potente that really make this all work.

#140RVW: Spider-Man (2002)
Bit showy but it may be the best they could do at the time. No idea why they didn’t realize Maguire & Dunst were the worst actors available.

#140RVW: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Weakest of the series. Really can feel the missing text. Illustrates the problem of trying to be too faithful. Original book is also weak…
