2 Lava 2 Lantula!

The story is really similar to the first movie and it's not that good. Just like the first movie it's a rescue mission to go save his daughter and figure out a plan to defeat the lavalantula. The movie have a problem with its pacing with some scenes feels like it's dragging on a little bit too long. Also the movie try's way too hard to funny with its unfunny dialogue from current characters and pop culture references throughout. The movie is still enjoyable with its action scenes of the lavalantula and it brings a few new ideas in it like them shooting spikes at people. The characters aren't as memorable compared to the first movie ones and some of them are pretty bad. For the returning characters, Colton is still himself who doesn't have anything new about him. Marty is the annoying comedy relief who jokes never works. And Kyle acts more like a assistant to Colton. The new characters aren't better, Raya is Colton daughter who is really bland. TJ is another fan of Colton who makes effective guns. Colonel Jester is just forgettable.

The sequel continues in Sharknado fashion. Guttenberg travels to Miami to save Florida from the gargantulantula. Michael Winslow, also from Police Academy fame is better utilized in this film, at one time he even imitates Scotty from Star Trek. There are many films which are spoofed, perhaps the most famous and notable is "Dr. Stangelove." The franchise is attracting better stars than before, and will soon be an A-lister cameo haven.

The Santa Monica Mountains were finally rid of fire spewing giant tarantulas with major help from action movie star Colton West (Steve Guttenberg), making him a hero for saving Los Angeles. Now while filming another big money movie this time in Florida, Colton will walk off the set with his friends to answer a distress call from his step-daughter Raya (Michele Weaver), sunbathing in Fort Lauderdale. Those lava spewing spiders are now attacking Florida. West will be forced to compete with the military, led by Colonel Jester (Martin Kove), to kill the biggest, baddest of them all...gargantulantula. Neil Elman writes and Nick Simon directs this spider fest (filmed mostly in New Orleans) that features: Michael Winslow, Lorynn York, RJ Walker, Josh Sussman, Jimmy Bellinger, Eric Etebari and Marion Ramsey.

For some reason they have Gutenberg start talking like some tough guy after the first few scenes...and the character sounds stupid. Really, it's a typical crappy SyFy movie with a few good puns but Gutenbergs character just ruins it. We're watching its debut right now and it's bad. The first one was funnier but at least they didn't seem to try and "act"...you know what I mean...not taking it too seriously. Stupid conversations at inopportune times when they should be running or shooting something. I think they're trying to pay productions costs with the commercials...they are insanely long and often.

اچھی فلم!

Steve Guttenberg returns as Colton West in the sequel to Lavalantula. Once again, giant lava spitting spiders are killing people, but this time it's in Florida, where Colton's stepdaughter is on spring break. Guttenberg's former Police Academy co-stars Michael Winslow and Marion Ramsey are back to help stop them including biggest lavantula of them all - the Gargantulantula. When Steve Guttenberg gives his inspirational speech, saying "There are no aliens in Florida," Tahnee Welch and Tyrone Power, Jr. are there They are playing their roles from Cocoon and Cocoon: The Return, a fact that is probably lost on everyone but maniacs like you and me. SyFy and their damn movies got me to watch this by not only featuring Guttenberg, Winslow and Ramsey, but throwing in Martin Kove. Some people are suckers for their favorite hot actresses. I show up for Martin Kove in movies. Such is my lot in life. If you want to watch a bad CGI giant monster movie about spiders that lay eggs in people and basically fart out fire, I can't stop you. I can't tell you not to make the mistakes I made. I can only wish you the best.

Lavalantula was a fun film not to be taken seriously. That's even more true with this one, the second and i hope not the final installment of the Lavalantula franchise. They're spoofing Sharknado here, as well as a few other films, which makes this a spoof of a spoof. If you're taking it seriously at all you're missing the point, which is to sit back and enjoy the show. If you can do that i promise you'll have a blast. Whatever film brings together Steve Guttenberg.with his Police Academy buddy , Michael Winslow, the Human Sound Effect as well as Martine Kove and. Tyrone Power Jr? What a cast. Sure the effects are cheesy but no more so than in those glorious Creature feature movies of yesteryear, like The Deadly mantis, Beginning of the End and Food of the Gods. Sit back and enjoy it for what it is., an entertaining good natured spoof of a spoof. As i stated before, Internet haters and nitpickers, this movie wasn't made for you.

The first one is great. Its a cheap action sci-fi film with all the good characteristics that made the Sharknado movie into a huge franchise. This franchise could have ran for a good 4 or 5 films but they parodied things too much. Whats the phrase... "too soon"...? Too much suspension of belief is required with Guttenberg's rough & raw voice acting. Also, the side story with his daughter takes up too much time in the movie and has more action than Guttenberg's scenes. Its not interesting to watch these C grade actors say and do what they say and do. The props are a bit cheap looking too. I know they are trying to make fun of different action movies and movies Guttenberg has acted in, but its just not funny. Did anyone notice the black army officer's teeth?? Looked so weird.... like they were fake.

2 Lava 2 Lantula! (2016) * 1/2 (out of 4) Actor star Colton West (Steve Guttenberg) is on the set of his latest movie when his daughter is attacked by the giant lava spiders. West and Marty (Michael Winslow) must race there to try and save her as well as the rest of the world as these spiders are much bigger and much more damaging. 2 LAVA 2 LANTULA! just doesn't work. I will gladly admit that I enjoyed the first film as it was rather fun considering what it was. With that said, this sequel here is pretty darn lazy from start to finish and whatever entertainment the first picture had is certainly missing with this sequel. The biggestproblem is that the film really doesn't know what it wants to do. At times it's a straight monster movie and at other times they have it being so campy but these camp moments are more annoying than anything else. Guttenberg was a lot of fun in the first movie but here they've got him over-acting so much that you can't help but not enjoy the performance. For some reason his line delivery is constantly changing as sometimes he speaks normal and other times he's way over the top with the macho guy routine. He does get to team up with POLICE ACADEMY co-stars Winslow and Marion Ramsey again so fans of that series will enjoy that. The special effects are pretty much what you'd expect from a SyFy movie. The spiders here are mildly entertaining but there's no question that this sequel just feels rushed and it's rather annoying. It's really too bad because I enjoyed the first film but the spoofs and campy just doesn't work this time out.
