Some what better than Part I
Ok, some people may completely disagree that this is better than Part I but I can't stand the first one. Its WAY to sad and depressing, not to say it isn't worth seeing if you havn't seen it yet. "Where the Red Fern Grows 2" is years after the first one and Billy is now returning home after fighting in World War II. His grandpa (Wilford Brimley) suprises him with two red-bone hounds just like the ones he had when he was a boy. At first he doesn't accept them but finally takes them to train them to track down racoons. Has a little bit of humor and is to a point more mature than the first. Even though you won't be able to hold back tears at the end, you will treasure this classic later on and come back to see it again and again. A must-have.
Bad storyline, worse acting
The storyline was weak, the acting was worse.
I hadn't seen part 1 since I was a kid, I ordered both the original and part 2. We watched the original Sunday and my wife an I enjoyed it. We watched Part 2 on Wednesday, and both were rolling our eyes throughout.
The actor portraying Billy did a poor job. It is obvious that he is not a dog person, or was over acting.
The story line left a lot of holes, kind of like reading the back cover of a book instead of reading the book. Not many exciting moments throughout.
Overall the acting was overdone and no character really captured you attention.
Overall it was a feeble attempt to capture the basics of the first movie that clearly missed the mark.
a great movie
this sequel to the beloved movie is suprisingly really good. this movie is joyful to watch. i was really impressed. if you have not watched this movie then i recommend you do
