7/10
I enjoyed this film more than the original.
17 July 2007
It did not exactly take long for this film to be made after the original as it came out the very next year. While the first one was okay, I still prefer this one a bit more. Do not ask me why as I can see from the score it is not an opinion shared by most people. Still, this one starts with a bang in the form of a very funny cliffhanger spoof type scene. It then has a man going to a temple to try and lure Ace out of exile to help retrieve a rare white bat. They are soon off to Africa where hilarity ensues. Granted, once again at times Jim Carrey's performance is a bit over the top for my tastes it is still funny watching him try to fight a native warrior, escape a mechanical rhino, and punch out the monopoly man. The movie moves fast and is over before you know it as it to has a rather good ending. I am surprised that there has not been another sequel to this franchise in the past years, but there seems to be something coming out next year. Hopefully, it will be another improvement over the first two as they were funny, but at times to over the top.
