An improvement on Vol. 1
This release still has most of the problems that Vol. 1 had:
1. It's 4 stories spliced together to make a single movie making the whole thing a little disjointed.
2. There's not enough violence and death (of the good guys).
3. The political commentary that featured so prominently in the original film is mostly missing.
However the stories that make up this film are considerably better. Each one is quite different - it's no longer 90 minutes of the same story done four times over. There's also more character based plot rather than just continuous bug blasting.
One problem I had watching this after Vol. 1, is that there's obviously some stories between Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 that have been missed out. For example there's mention of one of the apes being taken out by a brain bug in a previous incident, and there are other similar references.
Overall, reasonably enjoyable and apart from the lack of continuity, a big improvement on Vol. 1. -
