I know that the title of this blog post in unfair right from the begining but there is just something in this article that i just can't agree with. The writer goes on to list terrible movie sequels and while this list is mostly agreeable, the writer plugs Clerk II in a list with Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde and Speed 2: Cruise Control. I think this is wholly unfair, because the styles of these movies couldn't be any different. One was an independent film, shot in black and white and completely observational. The sequel is a viable progression, both in film making and writing for Kevin Smith. Saying Clerks II is bad is saying that every other Kevin Smith movie (save for the original) is bad, and that seems like it's coming from a disenfranchised fan boy rather than an unbiased film critic.
