Best movie of this year hands down!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Mahoney and friends have graduated from the Police Academy (1984) and are issued with their first assignments. As before, their cheerfulness and devotion to duty outweigh any shortcomings, but are they ready to do battle with a band graffiti daubing terrorists? Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment is the first of the many installments of the Police Academy Series and one that continues bringing laughs and smiles to our faces. Sure the original was better but there's lots of goofs and laughs this time around that makes it just as good as the first plus a new pack of great and i mean great characters who are just as "stupid" as our main characters and we just loved them right? (10/10)

Quickly rushed into production to capitalize on the successful first film, this film sees the recruits graduate from the academy. By this film the series became unwatchable and redundant. The movie is funny, but it's not as good as the first film. It's the kind of film that proves that a small story can be much more meaningful than a larger one. Even though it's a step down from the first film, it's still entertaining. The cinematography is stark and bare, with only the soundtrack adding some effect. Heartfelt and riveting from the first frame to the last. The real centerpiece of the film is its acting; three performances in particular stick out.

So I saw the first Police Academy a few nights ago and naturally I wanted to see the sequel. How they could mess things up this badly says a lot about the other sequels.Basically the plot is that six of the characters we know and love from the first Police Academy movie are now on their first assignment - to stop a gang of hooligans that like to scream every last line of dialogue. While this is happening someone tries to replace Lieutenant Harris as the guy fans of the original love to hate, this time we just hate him as he tries to go for the job of inspector.Now my one big problem with this is that these people go into situations that last the entire movie that are just so... BORING. Do we really care about Tackleberry and his first love(who's just like him)? Are we really supposed to give a crap about any of these new characters who are just there to try and either imitate the first one or just being really boring.Now there are compliments - this movie does amuse me in places - but most of the time it's just smirks here and there. All of these parts I could count with my hands. Also unlike other bad sequels this one is just over 80 minutes long. I won't watch 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 (are there more?) because from what I've heard they get worse and worse, not only that but it seems to me like they just wanted to make a sequel in hopes of just making more money and nothing else. I will only watch the first one again and that's it.

The part of the city which has the highest crime rate is under the care of Captain Pete Lassard, the chief demands that he turn things around or he is out.He in turn calls his brother, Eric, the academy commandant, and requests some new people.He recommends recent graduates, Mahoney, Hightower, Jones, Tackleberry, Fackler, and Hooks.Now they are teamed up with some veteran officers, who are not exactly competent, and along with their inexperience they cause more trouble than the gang they are pursuing.And they also have to deal with Lieutenant Mauser, who wants them to fail, so that he could become the new Captain....It's amazing how many sequels this film garnered, each with questionable quality. The second installment is just okay, and it feels more like a string of sketches rather than a full movie.My problem with this series is Mahoney, the character really irritates me, and I find smaller characters, who are not in the film for long, more endearing than someone with a face that you'd like to slap.Goldthwaite is the main draw here as Zed, and the makers knew this, he came back two more times.There are a few good laughs, but it isn't anything special.
