SnoopyStyle Richard and Emmeline Lestrange die leaving their son Paddy as the sole survivor. The rescue ship is overwhelmed with suspected cholera. Mr. Kearney, Mrs. Sarah Hargrave with her daughter Lilli, and Paddy renamed Richard are cast off in the lifeboat. Kearney threatens the toddlers and Sarah kills him. The trio ends up back at the original island. After Sarah's death, Lilli (Milla Jovovich) and Richard (Brian Krause) are left to themselves.The story gymnastics are annoying as heck to make the sequel basically a repeat of the original. I'm sure anybody would be laughing with derision at the silly plot repeat. The original has the possibility of being a guilty pleasure. This is an unforgivable embarrassment for anybody who actually likes the sequel. I have nothing against the two young actors. Milla obviously has more acting abilities than the usual model. However, there is simply no point to this sequel for an unworthy franchise.

Armand Great expectation. And dusty taste. Blue Lagoon was charming and exotic. The Return was only cold soup. Nothing more. Same recipes, same ingredients, beautiful actors, tropical place. And few drops of fight to remove the taste of verdigris. It was not a disappointment but a donkey loaded with too high expectations. In fact, a summer movie, best for a season, like many songs. End of a story who gives impressive hopes and which is little than a hen with golden eggs. Because everything to be said was said. Fundamental error - the dreams of producer and naivety of director. It is natural - a squeezed lemon can not be fresh in any fridge.

Poseidon-3 Picking up where "The Blue Lagoon" (made about 11 years prior) left off, but changing the ending somewhat in order to facilitate the new story, this sequel made barely a ripple at the box office. When the original boy and girl are found dead in their boat by a small ship, their still-alive son is rescued and put in the care of young mother and widow Pelikan. However, soon afterwards, the crew begins to contract and spread cholera and so Pelikan, her new son and her infant daughter are put out to sea in a dinghy in the hopes that they can avoid death from the disease. Eventually, she and the children wash up on the same island from the first film and are conveniently able to live in the same elaborate tree house. The years go by and the children grow into tan, athletic Krause and nubile beauty Jovovich. With Pelikan having died before they reached puberty, the kids are left to figure out most of the facts of life themselves, all set amidst beautiful island scenery and backed by lush music provided by Basil Poledouris. Much like the first film, the kids fish, bathe, argue and make love while the threat of headhunters on the north die of the island looms. Where this film differs is in the arrival of civilization, so to speak, in the form of sea captain Blain, his precocious daughter Coburn and a crew of grizzled sailors. Krause and Jovovich soon learn that sometimes civilization is not as civilized as life in the wild. Pelikan bears most of the weight of the first half of the film and does a reasonably good job of it. She's given the unenviable task of acting most of her scenes either alone or opposite a couple of small children. Krause and Jovovich do not appear until nearly 45 minutes into the movie. Krause, who bears quite a likeness at times to Heath Ledger, is appealing enough, but suggests nothing beyond a neatly coiffed, California beach boy playing Lord of the Flies. He doesn't really get to cover any territory that wasn't already handled by his predecessor Christopher Atkins. Jovovich is stunning to look at, and performs admirably as well, but, again, is stuck redoing what Brooke Shields already did. Thus, the film, despite a few tweaks in the formula, comes off as an imitation or remake of the previous one. People who never watched the first film will likely be able to enjoy this one more than those who are fans of the original (not even counting the versions filmed in 1923 and 1949!) Coburn is appropriately snotty and manipulative, perhaps too convincingly so since she was scarcely heard from again after this! Entertaining enough on its own terms, it is certainly no classic and is fairly preposterous, but is also not the dog some people have made it out to be. It's basically a rehash, made in an attempt to wring a few more bucks out of a concept that worked well the first time.

cpoe2 going into this movie, i didn't have expectations of great acting or a phenomenal script. i had never even heard of it or The Blue Lagoon until a few weeks ago because people only talk about the really great movies.i judge movies on how they make me feel deep down. this wasn't perfect but if you leave all your expectations at the door, you'd be surprised how much truth is there.it lets you enjoy innocence. i think that's why i could even accept the fact that the performances weren't absolutely perfect. children aren't supposed to be perfect, but they do have one thing over most adults, a child of innocence will love unconditionally despite all the confusion that can be found in the world-even on an deserted island. i think the people who created this movie were able to capture that part of life and so i have to approve.i watched The Blue Lagoon before this one and have to say, even though this one is less explicit, it's even more enjoyable. both are worth attention though.however, neither should be viewed by young children; they were given their ratings for a reason.
