brig_00 Review of Firestarter: Rekindled

Firestarter: Rekindled (2002)

If you've seen Firestarter, you probably don't want to see Firestarter II

[3/10 · 25 February 2005]

I am not saying Firestarter II is a bad movie, but I think the premise was poorly thought out. Whoever was in charge of writing the plot/ storyline, obviously did not do their research. Anyone who creates a sequel should try to be as accurate as they can with elements from the previous film. When they had flash backs to when she was child (from Firestarter) they did not have scenes from the previous film but instead they made new scenes that were not what happened in the first film with different actors, different scenery, and not even the same premises. My friend and I were so disappointed, it was so long and didn't make any sense after seeing the 1st film. And I have never read the book but my friend said that the 2nd film isn't accurate with the book either. I just recommend if you are going to watch Firestarter or Firestarter II, I would pick one or the other to watch. Don't watch both of them. Unless, you want to be disappointed!..
