None of the impact of the first, and has nothing new to offer. This sequel is literally just "Lake Placid But Worse".

Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.

Apart from the useless R-rated sequences, I feel they did a fine job with Lake Placid 2. Not the best actors or their best performances here, but it provides the trademark spoof-horror combination with the same dosage as the original. Could have had +1 CGI and and tighter screenplay and this would have been much, much better. Grade C.

No where close to as good as the first. Not even a good movie. Bad actors, no one from part 1 is in it except Betty White. The only reason I rated it a 5 is because the alligator killings were good.
