OK, so outta love for the first, I felt obligated to watch "The Lost Boys 2-The Tribe"...

I assumed it would suck, thanks for the confirmation.

I never figured it would come close to the OG, but hoped it might at least be entertaining enough.......this movie has just found a whole new level of horridness.

the first was awesome.

if you didn't even hear about the release of the 2nd, you knew it was gonna suck.

Dude, STV isn't necessarily a "clue" that a film bites ass....There are plenty of "watchable" or "very watchable" vids that go STV...This isn't even watchable.

The reasons for a movie going STV are obvious, no enlightenment there....This is plain and simple, the worst assault on a classic, that I can actually think of.

A film that is designed to go to theatre, but goes STV - there is a reason.

Ex: Starship Troopers 2, Cruel Intentions 3, Van Wilder 2 usually the trademarks are bought cheap because all studios have passed on it. And then new producers pump out a sequel just to make a quick buck, and capitalize on the name.

Think about it. You want to make a horror film. You want to put your money into writing a brand new one, and get no press or interest -- or buy a franchise for pennies on the dollar, and get extra press and sales (eg: this thread!)

Man you can be THICK!

You are (yet again) NOT saying anything that has not been said before, or for that matter, not common knowledge. You have however, managed to (yet again) miss the point...

NOBODY (especially me) is questioning WHY a film goes STV.
However, just because a movie goes STV, does NOT mean it is NOT at least watchable BECAUSE it has gone STV.

I didn't say all STV movies are good, I am not wondering why STV movies get made, ya follow so far?

I KNEW about this film before I watched it, AND I know why it went STV, It's more than OBVIOUS my expectations were not "high" by the thread title "felt obligated", but I did expect to be midly entertained (even by a bad flick.).....

My actual point is, I EXPECTED a "less than", but watchable movie. However, what I did NOT expect, was to see what I had mentioned earlier, basically, the total annihilation of a classic to this degree.

Is it dumbed down enough for ya now?

Geez, how many times do you have to run up your own ass before you decide to finally get the hell out of you're own way?!?!?
