I usually have no problem watching children's movies. I love children's movies. Some of these movies bring back childhood memories. Not this one. As a matter of fact, the only good thing about this was Benji. This might be hard to believe, but the story was much weaker in this one than in the original. At least in the original, it had a believable story. Even the villians were more believable in the original. This...blah. It was basically the same thing with Benji running around, using his logic to get into and out of situations. I have no problem with that though. I just wish I could've seen Benji do something different here. At least, Benji was cool though. I've always loved watching his adventures and getting in and out of situations. The acting was just as bad as the first, I think, maybe even worse. Maybe I'm being a little too hard on this, but this didn't live up to the hype of the first one at all. Something good for the kids, that's about it.
