Strong and Moving!
Charming and brutal
Boring
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Ok where to begin! This movie was a little disappointing. To being with, Zenon's acting coach must have left with Raven Symone. When she was in the first movie, her acting was believable, but her acting in this movie was a little too much, she needs to tone it down and stop trying so hard. Next, the movie itself has many mistakes, tiny little ones. In the first movie, couldn't they only bring to the spay-stay what they could cultivate? No animals? So why were they eating turkey?! Maybe they were space zappad dinners, who knows. And maybe in space they put on socks with wet nail polish, too -- since Margie's socks were glued to her toes and wouldn't be if she had let her toenails dry like us normal humans. And what happened to the other characters in the movie?! All her space friends? Maybe they contacted Miss Cleo and she told them this movie was going to be a bomb and they kept their distance. And if Protazoa is trying to hide from the public, why is his secret hideout posted on his website? Ok, I don't want to seem like I am babbling, so in summary -- if you are looking for a laugh, see this movie--it's full of them!!
I enjoy Zenon movies a lot. This movie really hits the spot. It is funny, thrilling, and just entertaining.It's even better than the 1st movie. This one has more action, and more scenery, and cool fashion stiles. I hope they make a TV series out of This. I'll give it **** out of ****.
Ever since the last Disney Channel original movie -- "The Ultimate Christmas Present" premiered when they first aired the very first promo for "Zenon: The Zequel" I have been really looking forward to this movie ALL month long and right up until the premEAR of it on January 12, 2001 -- two years after the premEAR of the first one ("Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century") in which I have also been a fan of as well.This movie is basically everything I could have hoped it would be and more with one minor drawback -- that the producers were unable to get the FULL cast of the first one back to do the sequel. Still, the important characters were still played by the same actors/actresses (Kirsten Storms, Lauren Maltby, Stuart Pankin and Phillip Rhys as Proto Zoa.) Stuart Pankin is simply hilarious and a GREAT actor -- in both "Zenon" movies as well as in "Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves". Kirsten Storms (Zenon Carr) is even better in this sequel than the first movie, though she still gave a fantastic performance in the first one. Her arch-earth-nemesis, Margie (Lauren Maltby) is in this sequel a lot more than she was in the first one and also gives a fantastic performance.The opening scene (after the voice-over introductory scene) is just absolutely so well done and hilarious! This really does a great job of grabbing the viewer's attention and will make the viewer want to keep watching the rest of the movie for anymore just-as-hilarious scenes as this one. So I don't ruin the movie for anyone, I won't go into detail and describe it here but just let me say that it all starts off with a very innocent little computer game that turns out to be a REAL game and proves to be disastrous-major!It's original movies like this one that really keeps me looking forward to each and every Disney Channel original movie every month as well as collecting them all for my video library!
Zenon is back! The original story continues! I would highly reccomend this movie and its prequel to any family-film lovers. Although it is disappointing that some of the original characters and/or actors aren't in this continance, Storms is and she has proven that she is a very talented young actress. I only have one hope: that Disney keeps this fun series going!
