Not seen the first one and as this is a standalone movie set decades later I didn't feel I needed to either.
The only reason I watched it really is because Angelina Jolie was in it, who is one of my very favorite actresses.
She doesn't show much acting-talent in this though I have to admit, but she was 17 when she did it with extremely little acting experience previously so she's forgiven.
There have been a lot of talk about her love scene in it but frankly by today's (and Angelina Jolie's later movies) standards it's a pretty mild one, that's also frequently interrupted by a old man crying over his dead daughter (which takes away any sexiness that scene could have had otherwise).
Anywayssss... The movie boasts of awful dialogue throughout, with some exceptions "If you want to dine with the devil, you need a looong spoon" made me laugh so there was always that.
Storywise meh, acting wise oh lord no.
So yeah overall give this a big pass, unless you really enjoy poorly written lowbudget sci fi flicks from the 90's with bad acting etc.
