Both opinions fully expected, and probably equally valid.

Envision being unexpectedly tickled, and vaguely disappointed simultaneously when I finally get around to seeing.

It was not great by any means. But the movie was entertaining.

Movie was way too long. They could have cleaned up a lot of crap to make it flow more nicely.

"By the bedpan of Gene Rayburn" was my favorite one-liner.

oh and another thing....Meagan Good has a FANTASTIC ass. DAYUM.

Kanye West does for MTV News

She has a fantastic everything imo.

Sounds like this movie needed a better edit job. Noticed it's like 20-30 minutes longer than the first.

I hate when they let scenes and jokes drag on too long. For instance, the longer cut of Talladega Nights was 20 minutes longer and was nearly unbearable with scenes they dragged out.

Not disappointed at all. Great sequel.

Bred for that extra ass bone.

That is probably the best way to describe it. After seeing the previews and Ferrell doing car commercials I wasn't expecting much if anything so I was pleasantly surprised and I like I said I like stupid funny. I was watching Scary Movie last night and I still laugh during that movie.

That does it for me. I was on the fence, but now I am going to see it as soon as possible.

I just watched the first one last night. Explains a lot of jokes that went over my head the last 5-6 years.

Its a pretty big deal!

It's the pleats.

I saw this tonight. Not as good as the first one, but its fun and dumb. Don't look for any greater life meaning here. But its an OK way to blow off a couple hours. Lots of cameos in the last 20 minutes.

Overall, I came away a bit disappointed. It had its funny moments, but it was primarily formed as a reprise to the original rather than a sequel if that makes any sense. It's worth seeing if you were a big fan of the original, but I doubt it'll be winning over any new fans.

Still, the characters are fun, and like I said, there are some pretty funny moments. I just think they could've done a lot better. Oh well.

I enjoyed it. I didn't love the first one, and found myself aghast at some of the stupidity, but overall I liked the satire and several of the individual moments (pipe-hittin' bitches was an awesome reference, even if it was anachronistic).

This may end up being crap, but I love this idea.

Anchorman 2 re-released with all new gags (+trailer)

Will Ferrell's latest hit movie will return to cinemas this week - with almost every joke replaced with a new one.

In an industry first, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, which was released in December, will be refreshed and renamed Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues Continued - using footage shot, but not used, in the follow up to the 2004 original.

It will screen in 1000 cinemas across the United States this week.

"We started talking and realized, we can replace every single joke in the movie with another joke," director Adam McKay told the New York Times. McKay also wrote the film with Ferrell.

He said there were some jokes left behind in the re-released film, but 95 percent of them had been replaced with alternate gags that hadn't been used the first time around - 763 new jokes, to be exact.

The new version will be longer than the original, clocking in at just under two hours.

It seems it isn't money that's behind the push to re-release; Anchorman 2 has already made more than $200 million in worldwide ticket sales. Instead McKay said the idea came from the improvised nature of the films, which left a lot of unused, alternate takes from shooting.

"This is a stitched up, Frankenstein version," he told the newspaper. "You'll either love it or hate it."

It's not the first time films have been re-jigged, but it is the most extreme. In 1966, Woddy Allen added dialogue and a new storyline to his film What's Up, Tiger Lily.

The alternate of the Original was good [Wake Up Ron Burgundy]

It'll probably be slightly less strong overall, but will still have some quality material.

I think it's a genius move. I actually hope it gets a nice box office boost simply because it'll promote to continue thinking outside the box in an industry that's risk adverse to an extreme.

Watched Stepbrothers the other night again, and laughed my ass off.

Yeah wasn't bad. Worth at least a few laughs.

I was kinda disappointed with Anchorman 2 though, it started off real strong for the first 45 minutes, then the ending just wasn't' that funny.

I read an interesting article that Anchorman 2 was a disappointment because it was over-marketed. People saw so many clips of Ron Burgundy between Dodge commercials, ESPN, etc... that people felt like they pretty much saw the whole movie. It wasn't even that people got sick of him. Pretty unusual, when you think about it.

I don't see this as being anywhere close to genius, outside the box, or risky. They picked up the scraps they didn't feel were good enough to serve you in the first place, and are charging you for it. There is also no risk either, as it cost them basically nothing to make.

I'm not saying it won't be good, but there's just nothing genius about it.

I don't think the product itself will be genius, but I think the idea is fascinating and will probably see it myself. It's like getting to watch an entire movie of deleted scenes.

It won't be as good as the original, but it'll still be really interesting to watch.

I'm speaking to the idea that when you improv each scene 4-5 times each, there's gonna be funny shit left on the editing floor. That being the difference- most takes are essentially the same thing.

Curb your Enthusiasm shoots like this also, based off a bone script of plot scenes and storyline. Louie CK's show has a bit more of a fleshed out dialogue, but will run improv scene takes for guys he thinks can actually bring something to the episode.

I'd love to see all the tons of film they have in the can over the course of show that's never seen the light of day because it didn't make final edit.

As a fan of the cast in general, all being funny guys, it's a cool idea to turn your outtakes into another cohesive full feature. Its a creative means of presenting additional content for those interested. That's all.

Exactly. I'm more enamored with the concept.

Precisely.

This movie was pretty funny but holy hell was that last third atrocious! If not for the cameos in the battle scene, I don't think I would have laughed a single time.

Meagan Good and Tina Fey, though. Mmm mmm mmmmmmmmm.

No, I agree with all that. It's just not anything new/genius/risky. I love this kind of stuff too. I still haven't seen the original A2 yet, but will likely check this out too when I get around to it. Although I'm guessing the amount of new material that is also as good, or nearly as good as what was not cut, will not be enough to fill a movie. The best ones would likely be a nice 20 - 30 minute outtakes segment on the bluray.

Watched on Netflix tonight.


Awesome stuff! The news anchor fight might be the most surreal thing I've ever seen. Loved it!

I was pretty disappointed. Maybe it will grow on me. I know the first one did. The first half of the movie actually is pretty good but it pretty much stops being funny about half way thru...and I thought the news anchor fight was really poorly dine in this one and not funny at all

Netflix actually has 2 versions of the movie. I watched the theatrical cut. There is an expanded cut that adds like 20 minutes.

One of the dumbest movies I have ever seen. Would have been more enjoyable snorting rock salt.

I didn't enjoy the 2nd one hardly at all. Though, when I watched the 1st one for th first time, I didn't like it either. but now I love it.

maybe I need to give it a re-watch.

It was terrible.

The first half is being generous, but the first 20 minutes were really funny. Pretty bad. I wouldn't watch it again...the shit's not zoolander.

The Doby the shark bit probably ran a little long.

They went overboard with the cameos in that scene.
