The first Blue Lagoon was one of the worst movies of all time, and I actually liked this one better. The acting seemed a lot more convincing, in particular if you compare Milla Jovovich to Brooke Shields.
The first half hour of the movie is a build-up to the fact that they're actually on the island, and takes on a bit too long. When the mother dies the movie takes the same steps as the first one, with the two main characters discovering their own and each others sexuality.
Then the movie takes a turn when our two cast-aways return to civilization when a ship comes by. Things complicate as a young woman is on board that takes a liking in Richard (Brian Krause), and a pirate-like guy who takes after Lilli (Jovovich) and her pearls.
Although the movie is kinda losing it at this point (with gunshots and a shark-attack), I preferred it over part 1 (which was a bore). Just one thing: isn't Jovovich showing a little bit too much skin for a 15 year old?
5/10.
score 5/10
