missem9 Review of Return to the Blue Lagoon

Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991)

they. didn't even actually follow the story setup from the first movie. and nobody caught that?

[2/10 · 2 June 2012]

At the end of the blue lagoon, the first movie made in 1980, when the ship crew find Richard, Emmaline, and paddy, they are asked by Richards father if they were dead, where the crew announces 'NO, NONE OF THEM ARE DEAD. THEY ARE JUST SLEEPING.' And in the beginning of the second movie, return to the blue lagoon in 1991, different people find them and announce them dead in the boat in different positions. When they were found alive and asleep during the first movie. Im sorry, but how did not on critic or viewer notice this? Everyone is talking about how the story line is similar when nobody even noticed that a second movie was near impossible because Richard Emma and paddy were all living at the end of movie 1. I could accept that if they died after the fact from the berries, but to REdiscover them and have them be FOUND dead? Did the director, screenwriter, or any actors even watch the first movie before deciding on this one? It shouldn't even be able to grace being referred to as a sequel. The stories don't even match up.
