The simple and most relevant comparison. NBD 2 vs NBD 1.

Never back down 2 was a downer of note compared to the first. I got a little anxious knowing MJ white was in the movie (given his track record delivering epic fight scenes) … However, real talk! The movie was bad. I was hoping that the fight scenes (given MJW’s experience) would have made up for the dry acting…unfortunately i was still not convinced.

My hope is that NBD 2 didn’t leave too bad a taste for the fans … The franchise is on point and could do well… With that said, i would love to see what they do with the next one.

To RAY: I think this is a great movie with a good story behind it, and what the hell do you think framing somebody is your as stupid as justin is in the movie… I agree with the last comment, get a dictionary.

his dad being gay does have something to do with the main plot as he gets angry over it when people talk about it and has to learn to control the anger in fights or he will lose…

Well, most martial arts movies do not have any gay male subplots, thank god:) That’s the reason in this particular case, it seemed like a fun addition to me. As for MJ White, he’s one of the better, most accomplished martial arts actors out there, and he can act as well. We definitely need more of him.

Uh… I don’t think most martial arts film fans view gay male subplots as “fun additions” to the main stories of those movies. ESPECIALLY when they have practically nothing to DO with the main story and are simply shoehorned in for some strange reason.

But I agree, there needed to be MORE Michael Jai White fighting scenes, because the one that’s in the movie is FANTASTIC! Leaves you wanting much more…

On the other hand, it was a fun addition to the plot. I don’t remember seeing a movie where main character’s dad abandons his family for another man. You’re right, it doesn’t seem like a great fit, but hey, this is a fighting movie, and we got that. Although, too bad MJ White doesn’t fight a lot (probably due to the fact that he was also directing).

Justin doesn’t frame Walker for murder, he simply places a stolen gun in his trailer and calls the cops on him, to make it look as if he’s violated probation and get him arrested.

Overall, it’s a good film, but is almost ruined by the idiotic subplot of one of the kids’ Dad being gay and abandoning his wife and son. Completely stupid, unnecessary and adds nothing to the main story of the film.
