"Believe it or not, I liked this one better than the original. Ive seen the first one about maybe 3 times...and I still dont know what in the world it was about. At the very least, I could follow the story (and I enjoyed it)! I knew almost all the actors in the movie (theyre all tv actors) and they even shocked me when they killed off one of the characters I didnt expect to die.
It wont win any awards or anything but it was, for the most part, very enjoyable for me."
Not a classic but it works

"ok lets be honest, anyone who watched the first and still felt the need to watch the second didn't do it for the story or the acting. They watched it for the beautiful scenery and of course the "beautiful scenery". Anyone who loved how sexy the first one was will get their eye candy and then some. Not worth buying the dvd but if it comes out on blu ray I'll definitely consider it."
No thanks.

"I liked the 1st one alot. Ok it wasn't an academy award movie, but I liked it. I watch it every time I see it on tv. Ok so a big part of it is Jessica Alba, but the movie wasn't bad other than some bad acting. It even started a new found intrest in treasure hunting, & prospecting. Plus I've been to Paradise island in the bahamas & that movie took me back.
When I saw this sequel, I was a little skeptic since it went straight to dvd. I read a few of the reviews about it & although no one said it was a great movie, they were saying that it was better than the 1st. I then decided to rent it. If I bought this, I would've been mad.
This movie is so bland compaired to the 1st. One person said that the acting wasn't bad, & that you couldn't tell that it was a B movie. The acting sucked so bad & you could tell that they were just following the 1st script. The treasure hunting was boring. Like the 1st, I've also been to Hawaii, But unlike the 1st, this one didn't take me back there. Even though I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers, Laura Vandervoort is no Jessica Alba.
So if you liked the first one, I would stay away from this one. If you must see it, rent it or catch it on tv. If you haven't seen either, the 1st is the way to go."
