Lack of good storyline.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I first want to say that I liked the first gate film a lot, and even though it's been a while since I've seen it but I remember enough to compare it to number one. The characters in this film, though stereotypes, have much more of a real feel to them than other films like this. Those characters help make the story compelling. The acting out of these characters is fair, with the exception of Our (SPOILER) main character, the nerdy neighbor kid, from the first one. I know some people liked him, but I thought he was a tad wooden. story is the biggest difference from The Gate. Whereas The Gate has a grander, action filled Premise, The Gate II: Trespassers has a slow build to an explosive ending. Don't think they went cheap on us though, because this "slow build" is filed with great stop motion special effects, thanks to the single minion ( the tiny guys from the first one) who gets a fair a mount of screen time. But let's get onto the ending, where things get sketchy. The start of the climax is excellent, but the final "battle" is just cheesy and a little disappointing. That's really too bad considering the rest of the film was great. And also if you're expecting scary, you may be disappointed. This film has it's moments, but the original is much scarier.In all The Gate II: Trespassers is a decent film, and if you're looking for some effects laden fun, check this out!

this movie was slower than freakin' 12 Angry Men. but at least 12 Angry Men had a god damn story line or climax. I am confused, a little angry, bewildered to the brink of exhaustion, and want to punch the sequel in its face. The first movie was incredible! it had a creepy element and included interested effects and top notch gore. this one's blood drive is dry as a whistle and the effects seem to be used as filler. actually, the whole movie seems to be a bunch of filler strung together with little scenes with the cool little demon and the actor from the first one, just to try and keep our attention. and THE ENDING. the ending is like me saying that my entire life did not matter when I spent my entire life walking in circles and pulling on my crank. so... my mind is completely numb and bleeding. thank you GATE TWO!

While this movie could have been much better, it is what you might expect for a low budget sequel to a b-movie. With that being said, I think the film recalls enough of the charm that made the first a borderline cult classic to hold the interest of those who were fans of the original. One returning character, one returning plot line, one returning minion. So for fans, its a nice hidden rental when your Netlflix Que runs low on must-sees, especially if there other fans out they're like me who didn't even know there was a sequel. I happened to be looking to rent the original and saw this as well. It sat at the bottom of my list for a while but finally I decided to give it a chance and while not blow away, I was satisfied enough by the nostalgic cheesiness this film provided.

After growing up watching "The Gate" I was very happy to here they had made a sequel to this great film from the 80's. I had watched the sequel back in 1990 or somewhere in that time period and remember thinking it was entertaining. Years later, I just grabbed myself a copy of this film and watched it last night. All I have to say is BORING. What could have been a great idea the writers of the movie filled in with bad dialog, bad acting, and no direction. The only fun part of this movie was the last 20 minutes of the movie where you finally see some of the elements that made the first one so fun. I mean you start to see the classic stop motion animation which made many of the 80's films so great. A lot better than the computer animated stuff that comes out now. In general, this was to slow paced and the fun parts of the movie came way to late. But, if you were a fan of the first movie go ahead and check it out at the local video. 5 stars
