It's noticeably darker than the the first film, with quite a bit of violence, a pathetic attempt to lighten the mood with an prepubescent Asian side-kick and Mrs. Spielberg herself, Kate Capshaw in a particularly annoying role as the screechy leading lady. The beginning and the end are just as great as the first film but it's everything in the middle that is painfully terrible. Some memorably gory scenes and a barf-bag inducing cuisine sequence attempts to make up for the poor quality but fails.
It might bring up some good memories watching it as a kid but by removing my nostalgia goggles it makes for a cringe-worthy experience.
