Manta, Manta - Zwoter Teil

So the dialogues could have been much better. The acting is also pretty mediocre. The story is pretty lame and uninterestingly told, but I got some good laughs in. It's supposed to be a comedy and in that regard it certainly works.

The camerawork is fantastic. The sound design is great. The music sucks in my opinion for the most part, but other than that well I had fun in the cinema. It's an enjoyable movie for a broad audience.

I appreciate Til Schweiger way more in these kind of movies than him playing the depressed old guy. The movie had no depth, which always works in Germany for bigger audiences.

Just my personal opinion. Looking forward to the 3rd installment.

There has been a kult in the early 90s about the german car brand Opel and its Manta model, which led to the production of two seperate comedy Manta Films: "Manta, Manta" and "Manta - der Film". Today Manta, Manta is more know to the people, because Til Schweiger had his breakthrough with this film and has become famous since then. The first Manta, Manta was okay.

The "zwoter Teil" (second Part) is a pure mess and watching it is a litlle bit like watching a car accident. Everything in this movie is cheesy. The story, the actors, the music, the jolkes, out of sync lip sync, the cuts, strange sound effects (which are meant to be funny but are just ridiculous).

If you like to watch awful trash movies for having an have a good laugh, then this movie is a must watch for you.

I don't believe the film would have done worse at the box office without the offensive and sexist jokes, since those were actually not the parts that most people laughed in anyways.

But the production quality is great. The sound design is great. The final race is very well done, nothing near fast and furious, but it still works nicely. Even though some people left in the middle of the movie, most people there had fun, but story wise, a lot just didn't make any sense.

The creators must be very glad about the fact that there is no cancel culture in Germany, because if there was, this movie would have had some serious troubles to face.

Did this movie get posted on a "we hate til schweiger" message board? I mean how did this get a 2.9?

It's far from great. The story is yuk, the cast is one big white wash, the jokes are very on the nose for the most part, but come on!

Technically it is very well above German standards. The actors aren't bad at all the script just doesn't allow for anything great.

I'm sure everybody who watches the movie openly will get some laughs off it.

But the movie got so many 1 and 2 ratings, people are acting like it is krass Klassenfahrt, but it is not nearly as bad.

I was pretty torn between giving it a 4 and a 5, but I went with the 4 because it could have easily been much better.

Was a big fan of the first movie back in the days. But this movie destroys the whole charm of the first one. Really: every actor play like it was their first movie without acting classes, casted directly from street. Dialogs are very bad and sound very memorized without emotions. Sorry about that, could have been more.

Plot is dumb and very constructed. They should have left out the dialogs between Till and his daughter, because they are full of cliche and come over very unnatural.

Would have given 1 point, but soundtrack fixes a lot for me. The only point that gets the vibe from the first movie.
