Bardlerx Strictly average movie

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

morilibus It's amazing what kind of movies are made when monkeys write the script. There was a scene in the movie where a guy tries to be really philosophical about the periodic table, saying that it's a language written by aliens. For example, they communicate with molecular formulas... "Take Silicone for example, it's used to make computers faster, but put it into a woman's body, and that speaks in much different ways." The element on the periodic table is Silicon. I'm pretty sure if you put that in a woman's breast area, it would kill her. Silicone and silicon are two completely different things.Nice going, ya dunce.

HumanoidOfFlesh A top-notch computer security system installed in a private college becomes deadly when infected with a computer virus called The Mangler 2.0.The virus crawls into the school's mainframe and all sorts of mechanical gadgets,like freezers,washing machines,security locks,and the various cameras all begin to go haywire and kill students/college workers."The Mangler 2" has nothing to do with gory and enjoyable original.The film itself is a tedious bore.The script is filled with holes,the gore is non-existent and the dialogue is rubbish.The techno soundtrack is incredibly annoying and horror regular Lance Henriksen is completely wasted as the strict head master.Stay away from "The Mangler 2".3 out of 10 and that's being kind.

callanvass pretty bad a times and sometimes laughable but entertaining all the same the acting isn't that good at all though Lance Henriksen is wasted here as the principal and is VERY unlikable he must have really needed that paycheck really badly Chelse Swain is decent here and is fairly likable but she has bad lines and is a decent heroine Philipe Bergeron is annyoing here as the chief and got on my nerves Dexter Bell is also annoying and gets a cool death though Daniella Evangelista is really pretty and does good here Miles Meadows is amusing here as the stoner and he was quite likable Will Sanderson is okay here he has bad dialog now and then but he comes out fo this looking semi decent this had some REALLY bad dialog and a really bad script but it has decent direction and is good in a so bad it's good kind of way but the score gets to be annoying eventually and the characters argue way too much for my liking watch Lance Henriksen deliver a horrible speech in the assembly and the chief always has a cigarette in his mouth (which is obviously glued to his lips)SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!! check out that lame moment when Dan stands on top of the electrical fence and has a chance jump off it but stands there like a dummy and gets killed it also has one stupid finale to boot overall not very good but enjoyable on a cheesy level worth the watch on those days you feel silly *1/2 out of 5

PoemFreak519 I saw this movie on HBO just a few short days ago. While I knew all the while how poor the acting, script, etc. really was, I was compelled to watch until the credits rolled. This was for one thing and one thing only: to confirm my already-predicted ending. Awww, look, the loner girl saves the day (or her own ass, leaving everyone else to the Mangler)... or does she??? :::dun dun dun:::We have here yet another piss-poor sequel that makes more than obvious attempts to grab the youth of america by the balls. (And though I am not equipped, being a girl, I'm pretty confident that I walked away unscathed by the wrath of the super-spooky Mangler)From the painfully cliche characters... -the "goth" girl who obsesses over chaos -the skanky girl who was sexually abused by the headmaster I'll just end that topic here.And let's not forget the soundtrack... For a second there I thought I was on ecstacy...all that techno rave music. Well, let's bring out the glow sticks! Ok, while we can all appreciate a movie score which echoes the plot (computer technology = techno), I doubt we could appreciate it as much when it's on a continuous loop. "Jo" could've been tying her shoe, crying over her meaningless existance some more, or hey, maybe even taking a crap and we'd still here that same techno track. I mean, come on.And I know someone already mentioned the pointless product placement of sorts, i.e. the Mangler quoting "Tell me what you want what you really, really want" of the Spice Girl fame. Well, I did laugh...so I guess that was the attainable result of the writers. But I laugh only in mocking of their collective effort...and the miserable failure in the process. Not to mention that I was picturing a wired Lance Henrikson as the next Scary Spice...But moving right along... I have seen, for lack of a better word, prequel--The Mangler.And I have a few questions: How exactly did the evil spirit Mangler end up on the internet via virus? I was just wondering... oh wait, that's right. THE MANGLER 2 WAS NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM RELATED TO THE ORIGINAL. Ok, so there are many horror movie sequels that fail to acknowledge the previous installments. But for the love of all things sacred....could they at least leave us with something!? The Mangler 2 may as well been called...Killer Virus on Campus, or something. And by the other incriminating evidence (read: non-stop techno, empty stock characters), I declare The Mangler 2 to be in direct violation of movie ethics. The writers go far beyond focusing on a target audience...they dumb down the target audience to the effect of complete idiocy. Sure, we'll buy the latest shoe or guzzle the new flavors of the slurpee machine at the 7-11. But please, don't force-feed us with sugar-coated crap, if there is nothing in it for us. Not all teens, after all, are hell bent on chaos. And not all teens fit into those neatly-woven cloths they cut, in their close-minded cliche ridden dialogue. Playing some funky synthesizers and having well-endowed women on the screen does not ensue entertainment. I mean really, I am 19 years old. And even im my darkest hour of self-pity, I doubt I'll be putting any "Manglers" on my college's main frame. Then again... :::cue the techno music:::
