Not so bad like everybody say, Arthur 2 is very inferior from the 1981 hit. At least Dudley Moore, with luck and funny charm save this sequel.

It's only taken me 21 years to finally watch this film. It's not very good at all but getting to watch some new (for me anyway) footage of Dudley Moore and John Gielgud felt like a treat, so I?m going to rate it higher than it deserves. So there! :o)

Lightning doesn't strike twice as this sequel falls completely flat on its face. A lot of the same from the first movie, but somewhat different in tone. Even Geilgud's ghostly appearance in this movie can't save this film. But I enjoyed it.

Not all that great. It tries really hard to capture the magic of the first one but really doesn't make it.

Dud tries to recreate his only decent film by doing his tiresome comedy drunk schtick again, but realises John Gielgud was the only funny one in it, and he's dead. Which leaves Liza Minelli to save the day. All hands abandon ship...

This has to be one of the most underated films ever made I mean look at the flixter ratings! That is just a bit harsh I must say I think that it is the best Arthur film around, the story I thought was quite good along with the acting just a really good follow up film all around, I like that it was not one of those follow up's were they put in new actors and actress I do not think that it would have been as good if they had done that, all around this is a great film! That I do suggest!

This abysmal sequel to the sometimes funny original is like the hangover after a party, as Moore and Minelli seem more interested in complainging than being funny, like a married couple that doesn't want to be married anymore. Yawn.

Dudley Moore is the perfect pointless rich man with nothing better to do than get drunk. He made these movies worth watching!

Okay so some of you are thinking, "Come on!". Au contraire, this movie is hillarious and witty. No questions asked one of my all time favorites. Give it a chance.

Dudley Moore disowned this film for a very good reason.

Ties in great with the first movie in my opinion.

What a train wreck. It was nice to see Sir John Gielgud's face, but I had to fast-forward through the movie to get there, because it was painfully unfunny. Avoid this like the plague unless you can get it free on demand.

First of all, making a sequel to a movie like "Arthur" is an absolutely horrendous idea and whoever came up with it should walk to his grave. Second of all, from all of the negative reception for this movie, why should I even bother seeing it? It is probably as bad as everyone says it is. This also brings me to the topic of the remake, or reboot. Why? Just stop making sequels to good movies unless you can do it right hollywood, and STOP making HORRIBLE REMAKES! Nuff said.

(**): Thumbs Down

It just is not as funny as the first film. Fair at best.
