Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
SnoopyStyle Xixo is one of the Bushmen of the Kalahari. His children Xiri and Xisa come along on a hunt. The kids are on their way home when they follow tire tracks. He get on the truck of the ivory hunters and get stuck as it takes off. Xixo chases after them. Meanwhile Dr. Ann Taylor from NYC is in Africa for a conference. She accepts a flight from zoologist Dr. Stephen Marshall on his ultralight plane. They crash in the Kalahari. Marshall is hounded by a skunk. A Cuban soldier and an African soldier are fighting each other.One of the main problem is that the movie is scattered with five main characters and four others that have big roles. The attention is scattered through all of these characters off in different places doing their own things. The story is all over the place. The slapstick is really broad and silly. The only truly compelling section is Xiri being chased by a hyena. It's something I've never seen before and something really memorable. I don't hate this but it's really dumb at times. Also I don't know how fast a bushman runs but it's unreal that he chased down the truck. The two doctors are not good enough to be funny and the two soldiers are horribly cartoonish. It makes the movie have clashing tones.
Syl Ever since the Gods must be crazy premiered ten years earlier, there was a need for a sequel because the film generated a buzz not seen in years. With a native bushman in a starring role in the original, he returns. This time, his two sons go missing or on an adventurous journey through Africa. The cast also includes a female doctor, a white lady, who gets into the same mischief as in the first film. The cast and crew are alright. The story is not much different as African tribal people get introduced to modern society. In the original, the bushman thought it was an animal and not a car. The story is still heartwarming and entertaining as well.
tvce While "Gods...II" is not quite as hilarious as the first, it is still well worth seeing, especially for the performance of the lovely Lena Farugia. Two questions will come to mind. "Why haven't we seen her before?" and "Why haven't we seen her since?" Lena Farugia is an American born, New York trained actress living and working in South Africa, with experience as a writer and producer in television. I don't know if she did her own stunts in the movie, but if not, that was one beautiful stunt double!
John Langbein (medrjel) Sequels rarely come close to the original, and this is no exception. With the exception of N!xau, most of the cast has changed. It's an attempt to recapture the magic of the first movie, but it falls short. Yet, I still love it, and feel it's still a good movie, since there is a weaving of multiple stories. It's a nice film for fans of the original.
