This sequel raises a rather urgent problem. We are talking about sports "satiety," professional stagnation, and even a banal change of reference points in the career of our heroes. "Savage" Vaughn instead of his acclaimed "bitnichesky" lifestyle, we see an elegant young man in a black business suit, who, under the influence of his agent, gradually loses himself to the present and is no longer devoted to his business with the same zeal. Quick and easy, Hayes (unfortunately, not performed by Wesley's old days, Omar Epps replaced him here) is more concerned with his film career than with jerks on the field. Yes, and veteran Jack Taylor over the years, not younger, and already somewhere in the thoughts of a well-deserved "sports retirement." And how to unite a scattered team, in which everyone is for himself, and puts his own interests higher than the interests of the collective? Yes exactly. It's time to remember how it all began. It's time to go back to basics ...
Incredibly talented director David S. Ward, wisely made the decision not to repeat the main plot of his predecessor in the sequel, but took the path of development in some other plane. I also liked that in the second part they were leading colorful characters in the first place, this applies to the incredibly cheerful and charismatic Japanese Tanaki (Takaaki Ishibashi). Fortunately, the biggest success was the preservation of the main composition of the main characters (as I mentioned, instead of Sanypes, Hayes tried on the role of Epps, by the way he didn't spoil the porridge). The only exception is, I did not quite understand the character Rub Becker (Eric Brasskoter). Personally for me, his hero, except for a slight irritation, caused nothing more.
Despite the fact that Ward tried to make some significant adjustments to the plot, there was still some repetition with the prequel. Several times, I caught myself thinking that this idea had already been beaten in the first picture. There is also the formation of a love line, but in the second film the emphasis is not on the hero Tom Berenger, but on Charlie Sheen.
So, the picture "Major League 2" is a qualitative continuation of the first picture, with a good plot and a good acting game.
