SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

tribblechomper In both the book and the first movie, John Rainbird is quick-fried by Charlie...old boy is deader than Dubya's chances of re-election! The book also describes Rainbird as a Native American; correct me if I'm wrong, but neither George C. Scott (in the first movie) nor Malcolm McDowell (in the second) struck me as even trying to look Native American!!! Now, are we to believe that you can look like the guy who played Patton, get quick-cooked, and come back looking like the guy that killed Captain James T. Kirk? Are we also to believe that you can have an accent of one who hails from Wise, Virginia, get roasted, and suddenly have the accent of one raised in Leeds, England? Just how MANY Native Americans raised on the reservation have British accents, anyway?

carriewlives OK I'm a little sketchy on this whole storyline. I have read the book one time, and it was ages ago. But Charlie as a child, hated starting fires, and hated it worse when people were hurt because of it. And since when can a man who was turned into charcoal(Rainbird) come back from the dead? She totally toasted his sorry butt, and in this sequel he's back with little brat minions? WTH??!!!! When I first saw this movie I thought it was good, but now I'm starting to see that it's just another piece of crap that should have been BURNT!!!!! Only reason I bought it is cause it came in a 2 disc package with the original.Wonder what Stephen King thinks of this garbage does anyone know? Cant believe these people get away with horrible stories like this. And what's worse it doesn't do Drew's Charlie justice at all.

carol-cuttress I was totally disappointed when I watched this film. This sequel in my opinion does not do the first movie nor the book any justice. If the film industry read the book and also took references from the first film properly and did a decent story, and had Drew Barrymore in it, the film may have been spectacular. In my view, this film just insulted the book, the first film and the fans of them. Rainbird was killed in the book and in the first movie. He should not of been brought back to life. As for the relationship between him and Charlie in this film in my opinion is stupid as he killed her father in the 1st movie and in the book. I felt I was let down and betrayed after watching this film. Oh yes, and they should of stuck to Drew Barrymore playing Charlie McGee. Is it really a wonder why she didn't???????

oracle19 Could've been better, but could've been worse. I'd say my interest in and longtime hope for a sequel to "Firestarter" made me enjoy this film. I wasn't totally disappointed, but my biggest pet peeves were that the flashbacks didn't match up with the events of the first film (Manders Farm, Vicky and Andy's deaths) and the fact that Rainbird was supposed to be dead.Could've been a lot worse though and for a miniseries this wasn't bad. A lot of the new characters make you wonder, though, and I could see why Drew Barrymore decided not to do this miniseries. Marguerite Moreau had some big shoes to fill and she didn't do too badly imo.I wonder though if things would have been different if this had been planned as a feature-film instead of a miniseries.
