A Major Disappointment

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Brilliantly written and fabulously produced. I wish Jeb was in office today

Aaron Sorkin is a genius. He borrows from himself a lot if you watch other shows, but you know what? He's allowed. That's what's floating around in his brain.Didn't watch this show the first time around, but when I found it on Netflix, I couldn't stop. Beautifully written, shot, and through The West Wing Weekly podcast, remembered.This show has a timeless quality to it, because it focuses on human interaction, and isn't flashy or gimmicky. Thanks to all who made this show happen.

West Wing (1999 - 2006) Deserved 26 Emmys overall, 4 Best Drama Series Emmys, and 9 Season One Emmys!The show is about the leadership of the USA government, and the immediate staff supporting the USA President. Capable, heroic, tough people every one.They have to be.The almost impossible job of leading and supervising the USA Federal Government is given to one man or woman every 4 years. That person must do his/ her job carefully and make no major mistakes.The story of his immediate helpers is what West Wing (1999 - 2006) is all about.Who are they? What are their problems? What is their background? What drives them? How to they relate to each other? When problems and disagreements regarding philosophy, policy, politics, interpersonal relations, morality, and self-interest occur, how are these problems/ disagreements resolved, how do they play out?Big questions all, and the West Wing (1999 - 2006/ 115 episodes) takes 'em all on at high speed and with almost superhuman energy. The portrait of the USA Federal Government leadership and high level leadership staff shown in West Wing is worth seeing, all 115 episodes of it.Cost (in 2017) for a used Complete Set from Amazon.Com is roughly $70. A bargain price considering the quality and information benefits the show supplies, all done in a manner which is visually attractive and well done dramatically.The USA Presidency has been centerstage in USA media at least since the USA Presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is the biggest soap opera in the history of USA show business, which the USA Presidency has always emphatically been.But its a soap opera important for all USA citizens to keep up with.Get it, watch it, forgive its sortcomings. It takes on a problem of describing accurately the mysterious USA leadership system, democratic leadership which replaced aristocratic leadership in the 18th century for the first time in world history.The USA government and leadership system is the longest continually operating democracy ("leadership and political decisions by nose count") in world history.It continues into current (2017) times, and is in perpetual crisis. The West Wing (1999 - 2006/ 115 episodes) TV series gives an interesting and palatable, even optimistic examination of this crisis. No TV show or feature movie to date has done a better job with the important subject of how USA Federal Government leadership works, or what it faces. --------------------- Written by Tex Allen, SAG actor and movie historian.

It's always decent seeing the way the Democrat thinks if you're a Republican viewer.Aaron Sorkin tries to write some nuance into the script but his partisanship is intoxicating. There is very little wiggle room outside his personal position and concluding moral judgement, which is why this entire series falls into the realms of political activism. Just what the big and small screen needed.....another activist.What happened to the great writers? Chesterton, T.S Elliot, C.S Lewis, where metaphors and story were built on more equal landscapes and messaging was far more subtle? Nobody wants to be preached to and thats exactly what this entire series does.The saving grace is the detail of the political process and and the white house decor and representations. You will learn something while being entertained but you will also be brainwashed by a room of liberal- progressive Democrats trying to tell you they are right and you are wrong.Having watched later into the series the pilot theme continues but with far more theological errors and left wing indulgences. To be viewed but not to be trusted.
