    I found this movie had made a crushing compared to the first original movie. I really didn't expect to but I actually laughed because I did not think the acting was good enough and really stunk. The story line or script for that matter was completely all over the place and should...( read more) have been rewritten. Not good enough for my view. They should have got Drew Barrymore again when she was grown up in her teens for the same part but a better story line. That little girl in the movie, her acting was terrible, I am not allowed too, I am not allowed too, she kept saying those words in which you wouldn't expect her to say them. Who ever wrote that script should be shot compared to the original it was killed off and I feel sorry, other wise I was getting ready to see a very good movie but what I got was trash.

    Fire Starter 2 is not a perfect movie, but it is still a nice little sci fi flick.

    A very good sequel to the first one. :)

    A follow-up to Firestarter, this miniseries sequel is rather upsetting. While the story is a bit interesting, there's various elements that aren't properly explained, or brought about. The flashback references to Firestarter are different, since there's a scene where the main cha...( read more)racter deals with a conflict which involves her past self telling her what has to be done (when you watch it, it'll make sense). It's a decent film, but sadly, not one I would recommend very often.

    I was disappointed that this movie had different actors than the original Firestarter. I did find that it was such a attention catcher that all was forgiven. I am glad that I watched it and will do so again.
