Movie Reviews of Death Wish 2
Movie Review: eight years after the first , death wish2 comes out to join the action 80's
Summary: 2 Stars
really this is just an action movie that was made to cash in on the 80's action craze. this has very little to do with the 1974 origanal, which was a serious study of crime and the vigilante mind set! this is just an action movie and while the cast looks like they are sleepwalking through the movie it is fun in the action movie mode(if it is very excessive this time it's because it is just following the trend by this time)!
not a great one but it still is better than the last two in the series!
Movie Review: Sleazy and scuzzy 1 Stars
As with most great movies, sequelidas has to follow and the original classic , Death Wish was not spared from this. Number two followed eight years later.Th gang rape scene has to be one of the most gratuitous and unpleasant moments in movie history. I know rape is not supposed to be a pleasurable experience, but was it really necessary to have it as long as it was? I dont know about anyone else,but I was squirming thorugh this. The rape scene from the first movie was brutal too, but it only lasted a few minutes and was used effectivley in conveying that senseless crime . This scene from Death Wish 2 seems to convey director Michael Winner`s sick fantasies.
Ironically, the actress who played Bronson`s gang -raped maid gives the best peformance of the entire movie. The late Bronson,his wife Jill Ireland(never one of the better actresses in history), and surprisingly, Vincent Gardenia ,turn in weak, ineffective performances. Bronson`s peformance is statuesque and I dont mean on a grand scale..He demonstrates the emotions and range of a statue.
This is poorly directed, cheap and grainy film making if you can call it film making. After the brutalization and murders of his daughter and maid, Bronson embarks on a dreary chase for the thugs in which he surprisingly remembers all their faces from two brief encounters. Predictable results follow, obviously, since there were three more sequels on the way.
Movie Review: Censorship Sucks!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
What's the point of higher capacity formats (ie DVD, Blueray, HD DVD) if not to provide more content, rather than less? Why censor art? I hate it when you go and get something on DVD or Blueray or HD DVD, and what was on the original Laserdisc or VHS set isn't even there! You suck MGM! I hate you! There is no point in having new higher capacity formats given your current methods, other than to make consumers buy them over and over again of course. *sigh* Why would you need them when you provide less content than the VHS delivered? And as for your censoring of my media, well let's just say I think the fact you cut out parts of the movie that existed in the original is unacceptable. This is a pathetic, censored, cut version of the original film, and it should be noted on the front of every DVD you butcher that you butchered it in BOLD PRINT. Just like your foreheads should be labeled with the following I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CUSTOMERS WANT, OR HOW TO MAKE A DECENT PRODUCT FOR THEM!!!Movie Review: pathetic "still!!" censorship in this modern age!!!.
Summary: 1 Stars
the reason i give this dvd only one star is because of its heavly censorship, which has totaly ruined it. for what reason does this movie remain cut in this modern world?. this movie is intended for adults, yet we are treated like children by narrow minded idiots. if we as adults are not allowed to see uncut movies then who is?. i spit on your grave is finally available uncut(thankfully), so why is death wish 2 and chato's land not?. pathetic!!! land of the free?, i dont think so!!!.
hallo!!! this is the modern age not the dark ages !!!.
Movie Review: Death Wish 2
Summary: 1 Stars
This review is on the quality of the DVD.Its awful. The Movie was in Widescreen but they put it in standard.Even at this the picture is grainy, the colors are bad.It should be priced at $5.00 or less. I've seen VHS tapes of this movie look better.Its unusual because MGM Home Video usually does better with DVD.
