Re: Lost Boys 2
I probably should rewatch the original. I haven't seen it in years.

The issue with this one was that it was very choppy feeling, and it just jumped around too much. It seemed like it skipped storyline content, just to show pointless nudity, partying, and then some vampires getting killed.

But the main issue is the whole Sam thing. They could have made this a huge part of the movie, but instead you are left wondering what happened to him. What was the beef between him and Edgar? Did Sam choose to go that route and that's what pissed Edgar off?

I don't know. It just seemed like it could have been much cooler, if they would have not tried so hard.

One thought is that if the movie would have just focused on Ed and Sam, and shown the whole thing from their point of view, it could have been better. Instead, Ed is a backround character, and Sam is barely even in it.
