![]() ![]() I met Jesse Hughes and Dave Catching by chance about 10 years ago, and they were both funny, genuinely warm fellows. ![]() I've been a fan of them since their inception in the obscure but quality Desert Sessions and rocked the "Live at Slims" bootleg that preceded their first official release "Peace Love Death Metal". ![]() I can't say I blame you if you aren't into tongue-in-cheek rock 'n' roll tropes or ass-backward conservative demagoguery in the wake of one of the most tragic terror attacks in the western world. 1.Ī lot of people don't like the Eagles of Death Metal. The filmmakers should have attempted to breath new life into the franchise after such a long time away, but instead they felt the need to repeat the first film. Recycling jokes from the original was not an inspired choice and sadly this leaves a bad taste in the mouth. What could have been something original and clever, just comes across lazy and tiresome. The audiences showed up, mainly due to the devotion of the first film but sadly I was underwhelmed by this sequel. ![]() I was waiting for this film to end, it just never feels at home like the first film and in places is yet another tired sequel attempting to recapture the same audience which has since moved on. One of the biggest issues was the forced humour, you never feel the chemistry that made the original so much fun. The film does not have a voice or reason for existing, you can actually see why the studio was reluctant to back the film, the sequel is irrelevant and much like Dumb and Dumber Too, just not required. I was one of the fans who handed money over for the crowd funding and I honestly thought the filmmakers might stick to the indie roots but sadly this is one belated sequel that was not required. ![]()
