Death Race 2 (2010 Video)
4/10
Sequel that lacked the budget and lacked the mayhem
10 July 2011
When I first heard there will be a sequel to "Death Race" 2008 version I was a bit excited since I enjoyed watching the first one. But than later I found out that this would be a direct to DVD release which got me disappointed. I guess the first movie didn't do so well at box office, cause if it did do well I am sure the sequel would have hit theaters and would have had a way bigger budget. Budget for a movie doesn't show how good or hot bad it is in some cases, but for a movie like this it needed the extra budget. Everything just looked way too cheap, if they just didn't have the budget to make at least a decent sequel they shouldn't have tried in the first place. I liked the original Frankenstein from the first movie, although that scene with him was very short he still had charisma and seemed like a cool character with a cool voice and this is from just the first few minutes from the first movie. In this movie Frankenstein lacked the cool voice he had in the first movie and didn't have that big of a charisma. The acting is also bad and the stupidity in this movie gets irritating to watch. The slow motion sequences in this movie was just ultra lame as well. On a bit of a positive note, it had few decent scenes that had it's moment, which is why I am giving this movie a 4.8. And because it's a straight to DVD movie so being a bit lenient.

4.8/10
