My 9 year old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie!! In fact, I told her I was going to buy it when it came out on dvd!! :) I think people giving this a very low rating are pretty harsh, and a bit stuffy!!

Good wholesome family fun. It's funny and filled with some pretty cool moments, and is backed by great acting by the cast. The plot is surprisingly well thought out that ties in well and references with popular books like Gulliver's TravelsGood wholesome family fun.

With Dwayne Johnson as a lead you probably also know what you're getting into when you see it on the shelf, though I admit, I did find him enjoyable in a goofy sort of way. All that being said, Journey 2 is good for what it is. Provided you can manage your expectations it's not a bad film. I found it entertaining and would probably watch it again with my young nephews since even the "scary" parts aren't that bad for younger audiences. Plus, all the book references they throw out in the movie could maybe even lead to them picking up one of the novels - and that's fine in my book....pun intended.… Expand

Aside from a wasted opportunity in the center of the film, Mysterious Island was a quick, frothy good time. Certainly not a memorable experience on all fronts but effective in its entertainment value, the film delivered some interestingAside from a wasted opportunity in the center of the film, Mysterious Island was a quick, frothy good time. Certainly not a memorable experience on all fronts but effective in its entertainment value, the film delivered some interesting sequences: namely the bee chase and the a sequence involving a gigantic electric eel. The problem I noted is that the film did not capitalize on the concept of the big beasties as well as it should have. For example, a dangerous trek through the most horrifying part of the island is summed up in a montage that features no giant creatures or any survivalistic actions. Simply put, the segment plays out like a Sunday stroll. The acting was pretty good though nothing to write home about. It is the breathtaking views the island presents that seal the deal, serving as a perfectly exotic backdrop for some thrilling action sequences.… Expand

Sure, there are several cheesy 3D elements, the plot development is mediocre, and it's essentially a very childish version of a National Treasure or Da Vinci Code or Indiana Jones type of film. That being said, Luis Guzman's character is absolutely hilarious, Vanessa Hudgens is freaking super hot, and the childish adventure has a certain element of charm to it that makes it enjoyable to watch. I also thought this was a little better than the previous film (Journey to the Center of the Earth) with Brendan Frasier. Obviously this isn't a cinematic masterpiece but it's a film that I think most people would like and it's a perfect film to watch with the family and with kids.… Expand

I don't know what to say about the script and plot. It's just ridiculous and unlogic. Mix 3 books to 1 movie, interesting idea!? However, the scenes and special effects are really beautiful. How can I say no to those gorgeous colors? And theI don't know what to say about the script and plot. It's just ridiculous and unlogic. Mix 3 books to 1 movie, interesting idea!? However, the scenes and special effects are really beautiful. How can I say no to those gorgeous colors? And the 3D is also satisfying, way better than the effect in The Smurfs. Generally speaking, it will be a perfect film for children.… Expand

I saw it with my best friend and we both loved it! I think this was a really well done movie one of the better ones. This is my new favorite movie!

In Journey to the Center of the Earth he just reads the title and I your not paying much attention you might miss it I know because I watched it several times then after a I saw Mysterious Island I then noticed the title. I really enjoyed this movie!… Expand

The best PG movie in a long time. This was a great science fiction adventure, even better then the first movie, with an amazing plot and great action. You need to get this whenever you are near a redbox machine.

It's best not to take anything Dwayne Johnson does too seriously. He has limitations as an actor, but at least he has a good strong, positive personality and can carry a movie like this with aplomb. I recommend this to anyone who has one or more kids under the age of 11. My kids now want to see more Jules Verne films, and who knows maybe even pick up one of his books as well. That can't be too bad, can it?… Expand

The is one of the best adventure movie in all time. This was a masterpieceful science fiction adventure, written by Jules Gabriel Verne, slightly better then the first movie with Fraser. Dwayne's best acting perfomance in my opinion.

I enjoyed this more than the original. The start was actually great, and the ending was great. The acting could be improved, but it wasn't that bad. It was actually enjoyable.

Some things are best left unexplained. This is one of them, as my love for this film can not and will not be held back by the weakness of words.
