I have to admit I loved the original Firestarter from 1984, and so when I noticed they'd made a sequel I was both pleased and suspicious. Sequels do have a tendency to not measure up to the first movie and this one is no exception. It starts out well, and builds up to a pretty decent finish, and then it just falls flat to the ground. The ending may be the worst I have seen in any film for a long time. The fact that this film is almost 3 hours long doesn't help either. It was a good idea, but very badly executed. Good intentions don't always lead to good results.
