I hate to admit it, but I enjoyed this one marginally better than the original.

Not by a lot, mind you. The premise is still ridiculous and there's way too much downtime in a movie like this. On top of that there's almost no relation to the original movie, of course sans Leprechaun himself. And on top of THAT, the logic and rules of what Leprechaun can do change at the whim of the...well, screenwriter, let's be honest here.

But I still found myself enjoying it a little bit more. Bridget overacts like freaking crazy, Morty wasn't too bad as the sleazy half-uncle whatever he was, and Warwick seemed a little bit more comfortable in the role. Plus there's actually a little bit of gore this time around (though still a lot of cutaways). So I had a little bit more fun.

I still, still do not get the Leprechaun. Gone in this one is the shoe-shining bit, but this time now his pot of gold is just random crap he's stolen. Like a gold tooth. Does he have a bank for this? Maybe he used to work at a bank and stole it? Is it the bank of the Wee People? Does he get benefits, vacation time? Where does he go for lunch? Does he drink coffee in the morning with...IRISH CREAMER?

Still terrible and they hadn't gotten to the point where they were just playing it up for laughs (though the weed smoking bit in Leprechaun Back 2 Tha Hood is reminiscent of a bit in this one where he's challenged to a drinking contest), but it was a wee bit better.

I still say if you're going to suffer through it watch it on TV. At least there are commercials to break up the pain.
