Wayne's World 2 (1993)

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

After a dream encounter with dead Doors front-man Jim Morrison (Michael A. Nickles), Aurora cable-TV sensation Wayne Campbell (Myers) announces his intention to hold a music festival to be headlined by rockers Aerosmith. As Wayne sets about organising the event with the help of friend Garth (Dana Carvey) and legendary roadie Del Preston (Ralph Brown), nasty record producer Bobby Cahn (Christopher Walken) attempts to seduce Wayne's girlfriend Cassandra (Tia Carrere).Wayne and Garth's second big-screen effort isn't quite as funny as their debut movie, the novelty factor not quite as high second time around. But despite the inevitable rehashes of some of the more successful elements from the first film, Wayne's World 2 still proves to be a lot of fun, with Mike Myers' special brand of surreal silliness providing some truly wonderful moments of zany humour.A crazy kung fu battle against Cassandra's father (James Hong); a very sexy Kim Basinger seducing virginal Garth; Wayne and his pals, dressed like The Village People, performing the YMCA dance in a gay club; Wayne and Garth failing to fool a fast-food restaurant drive-thru speaker; Drew Barrymore as sexy Swede Bjergen Kjergen; an awesome cameo by Charlton Heston: this film has so many funny scenes that, even if some of the pop culture references don't work as well as today as they did twenty years ago, and at the end of the day Waynestock is essentially just an Aerosmith concert (no Pearl Jam or Van Halen), it still manages to be a whole lot of fun.7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.

I first saw Wayne's World in the theater when I was around 15 or so. It's impact on kids during that time rivaled things like the NES, Beavis & Butthead & Nike Air Jordan's. I think many people, several years older or younger than myself could see both movies back to back and love them equally. Everyone sees things differently for their own perspective.For about a year after the release of Wayne's World, I'd heard practically every single line from that movie repeated in conversation, multiple times at one point or another. The references to that movie were used so frequently, it was almost becoming a new language spoken by everyone under 20.Then, it became much like a really eccentric person you befriend who quickly goes from being interesting -- to just plain annoying...By the time Wayne's World 2 was released, the quirky, spontaneous, "feel good" personality that everyone loved about the first one, was basically absent and the gimmick was totally worn out.It's extremely hard to put into words, but the first one just had a fun, hilarious, intimate feel about it that people could relate to. By Wayne's World 2; Wayne, Garth, and even Wayne's girlfriend had all gone in different directions and it lost the fun, friendly, "party" feel to it. The spontaneous nature of the jokes were gone and everything felt scripted. It was no longer "fun" to watch, but rather -- tedious.In my opinion, the pop culture icon known as Wayne's World, marked the end of the fun, good times, partying and close friendships of the '80s. Wayne's World 2 marked the beginning of the stale, rehashed, lazy & alienated '90s. As most people realize, the generation/era that was the '80s (and everything that made it iconic) didn't end on Dec, 31 1989. Just as every other generation, it carried on for a few more years into the beginning of the next decade.I've never found a better example to demonstrate the end of one generation and the beginning of another as I have by watching Wayne's World & Wayne's World 2.At least from my perspective...

The crew of "Wayne's World 2" had a nearly impossible task of following up the amazingly successful "Wayne's World". Needless to say, this does not compare to the original. However, this film is pretty good. Myers and Carvey are back with just as much wit and splendid timing as the original. This time they are opposed by the brilliance of Christopher Walken who, as usual, plays his part to a tee. The plot of setting up a festival does not have the power of that of the original and I was not crazy with the Jim Morrison character. The amount of cameos was a bit too extreme at time as what seemed like every other shot had some other famous person wanting to be part of the film. You would think that a film like this would not be as good hearted as it is, but it really is just a good film on so many levels. It's not a must see like it's predecessor, but I would still recommend it to anyone.

Waynes world 2 is a good sequel no doubt, but it ain't Waynes world. Which was one of Mike Myers best. I thought it was better than Austin Powers to be perfectly honest. Now here is the sequel called Waynes world 2, and it's not as good, but still funny. Most of the original cast is back. Including Mike Myers, Dana Carvey,and Tia Carrare. This time, when Wayne has a dream, it convinces him to have a concert called Waynestock. He tells his girlfriend Cassandra(Played by Tia Carrare) and everything is good. Until he starts getting suspicious about Cassandra and her new producer(played by Christopher Walken). Waynes world 2 has some very funny moments. But these really funny moments don't live up to what happened in the original. No the movie is not bad. It's far from bad. But I felt like the sequel was a little bit silly for me. Still, a good film.Waynee world 2:***/****
