Negative Positive
Title: Second movies usually fail - this one too.
Review: Arthur is a classic movie and most people will thoroughly enjoy it. Dudley Moore is superb - but John Gielgud is better! 'Arthur' is a first rate movie and, by itself, Arthur fully deserves 5 stars.Sadly, the same can't be said of 'Arthur 2'. In spite of this being almost a rehash of 'Arthur' - which, as I said, was an excellent movie - I give it 4 stars because it is still very funny...........in places. However, the script is too predictable and the acting undistinguished - with the notable exception of John Gielgud who excels naturally. (John Gielgud could gain a deserved Oscar, for reading his breakfast Corn Flakes packet!)Those who thoroughly enjoyed Arthur, will enjoy the sequel movie - but don't expect any real 'class' to emerge - other than from Gielgud!
