Donnie Darko is one of my favorite movies, that being said, I actually really liked this movie. I think people give it more guff than it deserves. Did there NEED to be a sequel to Donnie Darko? Absolutely not. I don't think this film does the first any justice, but as a stand-alone film, I personally loved it. I liked how they cast the original Samantha Darko to reprise her role. I found it laughable, however, that they cast Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl. He is comically ridiculous. Jackson Rathbone did a good job as the "geek with a dark side". I was also satisfied with Briana Evigan's role of the somewhat bitchy, but ultimately loyal friend. Overall, it's not a perfect movie, but if you look past the wanna-be sequel title it claims, it's NOT as bad as everyone says it is.

A sequel or so called continuation of the original film that should have not been made. Even few of the people that played a part in making this movie was like "why does there need to be a sequel?" and yet they went ahead and made this cheap crappy movie. I just wanted to forget this movie as soon as I finished watching it. This movie is simply unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the "Donnie Darko" film but subtracts it. This one is all over the place but just doesn't seem consistent. It's like the writers wrote down a bunch of scenarios and just decided to mash them all together in a incoherent and in a manner that is not very clever. I think they first tried to get Maggie Gyllenhaal who played Elizabeth Darko to play a part in this movie. But I guess she smartly declined. And now this revolves around Samantha Darko who is Donnie's youngest sister and it takes 7yrs after what happened in the first "Donnie Darko" film. It started out like it might be a watchable flick but as the movie started to progress it got worse and worse. And my gosh the special effects are just freaking awful, even for a straight to DVD movie. Movies like this goes to show that if you don't have a creative or good idea for a sequel, don't go for it! I am just going to forget that this movie ever happened.3/10

this movie was completely boringly sad and confusing. It contained scenes that were disjointed, and had no meaning. the only reason i gave it a 1 instead of a 2 was its only redeeming value was watching Daveigh Chase pout. I was excited about this movie because D darko was one of my favorite movies. However this is a lousy sequel. They tried to make this just like the original, arty and deep but instead it came up extremely short and shallow. It took all my will not to turn it off.As i said before, it was fun to see all the ways Daveigh Chase could look pouty, pretty and hipster like but that got old quick.

...sadly enough, I did not use IMDb for this movie - I usually do b4 watching a new flick. Never again!!! This movie was actually so bad, that after just 30minutes, I got up, got my netbook and checked it on IMDb - I thought I had been given the wrong film... It confirmed my worries and I must tell you: !!!DO-NOT-WASTE-YOUR-TIME-WATCHING-THIS-MOVIE!!! There is movies that waste your time and there is movies that make you angry about the fact that they did so... This is one of the latter.There is NO STORY LINE, there is NO FUNNY/SAD/INTERESTING/SCARY/COOL/MEMORABLE MOMENTS in this movie. -ANYWHERE! The chick is kinda cute - THAT IS IT. There is NOTHING good about this film: no sceneries, no nice shots, no nice music, no nice dialog, no nice plot, no, no, no, nothing... I really did try to find something good about this flick, but like another review states: you find yourself saying: "WTF...?!?!" every one to two minutes for nearly the entire movie as nothing makes sense (and that is NOT something intended by the storyline/writer), nothing matters, nothing gets you anywhere in this movie.I think this was made just to be made, not to set any new standards or be a good movie - I think someone wanted to make a movie and did so and that is it.I have seen a bunch of really bad movies lately - including LEGION - but this is by far the worse and most mundane and uninteresting movie that has EVER found its way on to my computer. DO NOT RENT THIS - EVEN IF IT IS FREE OR ONLY ONE BUCK! Don't waste your time. Go have some quality time with ur g/f / b/f / wife / husband, walk the dog, clean the litter-box, take out the trash, cook some food, do some laundry, ready a book, talk to the neighbor, watch random TV-channels or simply sleep some - anything is better than watching this p**ce of C**P!
