It's the second movie in the franchise, but unlike the first movie this was pretty boring.

My negatives about the movie is the acting, the acting is awful and Shevonne Durkin sucks as Bridget and she's just annoying the one good actor in the movie is Warwick Davis.

I hate the characters none of them expect the Leprechaun are bad ecpecially Bridget, the plot sucks, but i didn't expect it to be.

There isn't anything special about the leprechaun except that he's allergic to iron.

My positives is that Warwick Davis is in it, the kills and scene in the pub.

Leprechaun 2, lacks the kind of humour that was in the original. I find that it makes up a bit in horror, but it tries to hard to be funny! And when it should focus on letting the funniness just happen itself. Warwick Davis again is great in the part, I especially like the part when he gets drunk and tries to use his powers, but fails! Another creative kill is when the guy thinks he is making out with the girl he wants, but is being tricked by the Leprechaun and really kisses a fan and his face is cut to pieces and he dies. That being said, this movie lacked the good acting from the original. I did not care one bit for the acting of the young actress that played Bridget and I did not care for acting of the guy that played Cody. The only really solid acting is from Warwick Davis himself, as he does a good job working with such bad work. The major problem I have with this movie is just that it completely misses the comedy! For Leprechaun with Davis to work it needs comedy, but like I said it tries to hard.And when you try to hard to be funny, you fail altogether. THe only really funny part in this movie is when the Leprechaun is drunk and tries to rhyme. That actually made me laugh pretty hard. But other that the, the film was a total bust. Chartacter and writing wise. Overall, if you want a cheap laugh, go see Leprechaun 2. Its not amazing like Leprechaun 2, but its not terrible. Its a 5 out of 10.

It took me a while to get round to watching the 'Leprechaun' franchise, with so much going on and having a long watch and review list. Saw the films mainly for curiosity to see whether they would be guilty pleasures or deserving of their dubious reputation. Also appreciate horror, and ones with splashes of comedy, and had gotten into watching a few horror franchises that had interested me for a long time.

Watching 'Leprechaun', while understanding why people would find it a guilty pleasure it didn't do it for me. Saw the sequels as a franchise completest (just in case why anybody is wondering why if the first film didn't it for me why the rest of the films were watched too). While it was still not a good film 'Leprechaun 2' for me was a marginal improvement, with a couple of assets done better while containing pretty much all the faults that the first film had.

Davis is the best thing about the film. He is both amusing and creepy and does do the best he can, successfully, with an again goofy look, terrible lines and less than tasteful horror which must have been hard to do and shows how conscientious and talented he is.

There are sporadically mildly amusing moments that don't come anywhere near enough. It starts off relatively unsettlingly, again not enough to be a redeeming quality. Where the second film improves is in the pacing, the second half is nowhere near as uneventful or draggy, and with a bigger budget the film looks less cheap with a more expansive location and slicker photography, while still not being exactly high art because the effects are weak.

On the other hand, the rest of the cast is very poor, with insufferably bland leads and an assortment of irritating supporting roles. The characters display very little personality when they aren't being insufferably annoying with their dumb antics and illogical decision making.

'Leprechaun 2' is just as lacking in the script and story as the first was. The dialogue is pure repetitive childishness, with an overload of cheese and nothing funny, and the humour and whimsicality are forced. Having gratuitous gruesome gore was not enough to cover up for the complete lack of scares and suspense, nothing bit my nails, nothing made my heart pound or skip, nothing made my palms or forehead sweat, nothing made me jump. It's not just because it is so intelligence insultingly dumb, excessively predictable and unintentionally comical, but the story, while an improvement, is still thin and meanders in the latter stages. The kills are neither creative or scary, a few distasteful, and the direction is pretty leaden.

Altogether, a marginal improvement but still below average. 4/10 Bethany Cox
