Just back from Sex and the City and am very disappointed with it. It felt like there was no actual storyline and had a slapstick feel to it.
Samantha was probably the best in the film but given her age and character she seems to evolving into Liz McDonald.
I think it's time it was put to bed now, before they just ruin it.

I think they should do the series again. . .as they could have a good lot of series left. . .if they do these films, they will age dramatically between productions and it won't last as long.
It was also great to have Samantha being much more prominent in it as she was grossly underused in the last film!
I would love another film, but I agree with the above in regards to another series. That would be fantastic, but very unlikely
Back to this movie, don't let the reviews put you off.
Never ever use IMDB ratings as a guide, even allowing for Troll 2. lol
I was on the pafe for Tooth Fairy and there is a whole thread about people giving it 1 out of 10 based on the trailer or just because it stars Dwayne Johnson. That film is now hitting an 4.6 rating despite that which I think is a fair mark.
I just had a look at what the rating is for this film. Still only an 3.3 but that is after 963 votes. Considering it's just opened here and the US I think it's a bit early to write it off as an 3.3 film as of yet.
I really hope they dont make another one cause I feel that will just ruin all the hard work and success that went into the series and the first film.
They just had no material for a film yet somehow managed to drag it through nearly 2 1/2 hours! The whole section in Abu Dhabi was just weird and wrong not to mention extremely racist. I was actually cringing at how stupid that was especially the scene with Samantha dropping the contents of her bag in the street and doing the finger, swearing and thrusting at the men and women etc. What was the need for that? Also the scene where the women in burkha's remove them to reveal the latest Dior collection underneath or something. Bad bad bad.
I thought the outfits were mostly hideous, makeup was vile and the camera angles too were very unflattering. Samantha was reduced to a desperate woman rather than the sexy, confident and powerful woman we know. Charlotte and Miranda just had no storyline (although the drunk scene was funny) and the bit with Aiden felt like it was just thrown in at the last minute too.
I really hope they leave it now although this will make a fortune so no doubt a 3rd will be on the way. Although I have no idea what it'll be about? Carrie having a baby?
But Sex and the CIty is about alot more than that but that's what this film reduced it too. This is why people are a disappointed.
That scene was classic. I swear the whole cinema was roaring with laughter. I think Kim Cattrall made the movie to be honest. She pissed all over SJPs performance.
But then they showed SJP saying how its not meant to be too serious and it was just a fun summer adventure film to see and I kind of agree.
I saw it yesterday afternoon.I actually prefered it to the first one. It was just like watching 5 episodes in a row.
The first one was too unbelievable IMO, they tried to make it too dramatic.
I'd actually go and see it again before it finishes.
Funniest moment:
I agree
I also liked the storyline with Charlotte kind of cracking up over the kids. She wanted them for so long, now she's realised what a nightmare they can be!
*sip*
There were funny parts and sad parts too particularly
I thought that some of the film was a bit too "Carry On... ish" if you know what I mean.
I think that they should not make another one.... the films, IMO did not capture what the series was about.... I know that they have grown up, had families... etc... but they need to leave it be now... or else SATC will be remembered for two naff films and not the great TV series it was.
Yeah that Samantha scene was hilarious, she just flipped.
I also loved the bit with Charlotte and Miranda drinking and Charlotte admitting her first thought was "I can't lose the nanny"
Carrie was just as selfish as usual, I much prefer the other characters to be honest despite her being the protaganist (sp), so to speak.
Other highlights were
-Mirandas 'La La La La La' to the hotel staff trying to get all their luggage in that car boot.
-Samathas panic at being told she was going to be charged from then on and the frantic packing that followed.
-The whole karaoke sequence and Samanthas 'I AM WOMAN' at the end.
-'Lawrence of my labia'
-'Could this be any gayer?', followed by Liza appearing from behind the certain
- 'Paula' Abdul
- Samatha behind her desk applying her menopause cream
Basically everything apart from the Carrie/Big/Aiden storyline
Yes it was definitely more comedy than the first one but so what.
Me and the girls went armed with our plastic glasses and pre bottled cosmos and had a ball.
Cried and laughed from beginning to end and thought everything was so fabulously fun and camp.
And as for LIza Minelli that part had us in stitches was a great night and glad I didnt listen to the reviewers that panned it
