10 Movies Everyone Wanted To Love (But Nobody Did)
1. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
In the very least, Anchorman 2 felt like a movie made for the right reasons - the cast wanted to make it and spent almost a decade trying to put it together, even if it fell a little shy of expectations.
The original Anchorman is one of the most beloved comedies of the last 20 years, thanks to both its bevy of memorable one-liners and superbly drawn characters.
Anchorman 2 is... fine. As belated comedy sequels go it's no Dumb and Dumber To - it stays true enough to the characters and has some periodically hilarious moments, but it's also aggressively overlong at two full hours, and is decidedly more hit-and-miss than its predecessor.
The news crew fight rocks, but for the most part Anchorman 2 feels like too much of a warmed-over retread with all the predictably diminishing returns that it entails. Again, decent, but a movie that's hard to fall in love with compared to the electrifying original.
