    I saw it on Saturday and I really liked it.  I thought it was better than the first movie. 

    I admit it wasn't the best movie I've ever seen but I think it was better than I thought it was going to be.

    For those of you who seen it, what did you think of it?

    I loved it, but I didn't think it was quite as good as the first. I think maybe if I didn't already know so much from previews (Abu Dhabi, Aiden, etc) it would have been more exciting like the 1st movie.

    I'm a huge SATC fan, but I didn't like the movie. (I enjoyed the first movie, but it wasn't as good as I thought it'd be.)  It was long, nothing really exciting happened, and it didn't spark any emotions with me.  I feel like all of their story lines are completely played out now.  Yes, Samantha still sleeps around.  Carrie and Big finally got married, and I don't think anyone was expecting them to have kids, so of course Carrie runs into Aiden and kisses him for some drama. And nothing really happened with Charlotte or Miranda.  I'm still a big fan, so if there is ever another movie, I'd have to go see it, but I think they should stop until they come up with something good.  I also think they should keep any future movies basically in NYC.

    I liked it. It was quite funny. I even liked Miranda and she is usually SUCH a big bore to me. It was nice to see her spice up a little bit.LOL

    I still liked the 1st movie better though.

    I watched every episode of SATC when it was on TV, and really loved the first movie -- it's the ONLY chick flick I can watch. I just saw the second one today, and while I didn't think it was as exciting or engrossing as the first, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Frankly, the fact that the women never change their personalities is what I like best!

    i am a huuuuuge SATC fan, and liked the first one. this one sucked.

    partly because the whole movie im going "you cant do that" when they went to abu dhabi. it was REALLY disrespectful and made americans look stupid and ignorant.

    didnt have a whole lot of LOL moments either.

    not impressed.

    I liked the series & 1st movie better, but still thought it was good.  I enjoyed all the marriage talk and of course the clothes, fabulousness etc.  The jokes were weak.

    I am a massive SATC fan, I own all the tv shows on DVD and I loved the first movie.  I just got back from seeing the second and I totally loved it!!! It wasn't quite as an emotional experience as the first one, it was just fun! Loved Samantha's line about how they're soulmates, I love my girlfriends like that too!

    I am a diehard SATC fan and thought that this movie was better than the first.  That said....I really didn't like either movie.  Here is a random list of things that bothered me from both:

    1. Anthony & Stanford would never had married.  I loved their rivalry on the series. 

    2. Louise (SATC1) would have never gotten engaged to her "ex."  Once again......she was the new "carrie" in town and remember how long it took her to find Big???

    3. Aiden showing up.  Hmmm.......odd, though I LOVED him in the series.

    4. Miranda quitting her job.  Another hmmmm......

    5.  Samantha dumping Smith EXACTLY the same way she dumped Richard Wright.  WTF!!!!

    I thought Charlotte's arc was the only one true to her character and SATC series storyline. 

    Sorry....just had to vent!!!!!

    I'm a huge satc fan and I really didnt like the 2nd movie. I found it boring, felt it had zero story line and just wish they would have left it at the 1st one.

    I **love** SATC.  I was really, really excited about seeing this, but walked away dissapointed.  I thought the dialogue was horrible, the plot predictable and cheesy, and agree with the above poster who said that their actions during their trip to Abu Dhabi made Americans look spoiled and ignorant. 

    And of all the karaoke songs they could pick.. "I am woman..,"  really?  That's the best they could come up with? 

    I did enjoy the light they shed on Miranda and Charlotte's lives as mothers.

    The sexual scenes that they included looked awkward and forced into the script, unlike the first movie where it was done in a much more attractive way.

    JMHO:)

    I LOVE LOVE  SaTC.......But I was NOT a fan of the 2nd movie!!  I LOVED the 1st movie - I watch t all the time 0 I cried when Big left her and then they married @ City Hall.  I just didnt find this movie very "movie worthy" (if that makes sense).  I think it was just an extended episode - nothing shocking or intriguing about the storyline.  Which sucks cause I was soooo excited to see it!

    I'm a big SATC fan, have probably seen the TV series 20 times over, and was giddy over the latest movie coming out. But I thought the movie was TERRIBLE.

    You have to take it at face value as they're clearly catering to the legions of existing fans who are going to eat up just about anything they put out, but I actually felt insulted when I left the theatre.

    Other posters have mentioned the girls' obnoxious, embarrassing behaviour in Abu Dhabi -- which was the worst. I found myself rooting for the locals who were turning them into the police and chasing them through the market!

    I don't find the characters very likeable anymore. It used to be that they each represented something we could all relate to, but god help me if my world view and value system is anything like what they portrayed in the movie. Especially Samantha! What 53-year-old self-respecting, professional, cultured woman simulates oral with a hookah pipe in public in a Muslim country? It makes me cringe.

    The best part: Aidan again! xoxo

    Oh, well I'm guess I'm definitely in the minority here.  I heard from a thread here, that the reviews were bad for this movie.  So i was kinda expecting it to be bad, so for me it says a lot that I like it.  I didn't really like the first movie, it was a roller coaster of emotions. I didn't like whole calling off the wedding part of it.   I think this movie was more funny and upbeat then the last movie.

    Definitely not a movie I will go out and buy but it was worth the 8.00 movie ticket I paid.

    I'm a HUGE SATC fan--I am sad to say I was very disappionted with SATC2...I think that they forgot to include one of the major members of the cast--THE CITY!!!  I was also uncomfortable with all of the extravagance in the Middle East--I mean--a car for EACH girl--I myself would have rather ridden around with all of my girlfriends.  Sad to say, they totally missed the mark with this movie :-(

    I just saw it today and I wasn't too impressed. It was ok because I love SATC but I found it a bit ridiculous. I felt like they tried way too hard for the "wow factor" on everything. Even their trademark unique outfits, were TOO over the top. They went way out of the ball park for this movie, and it sort of turned me off. :( O-well...

     

    Also, matinee on Memorial day ends at 2 instead of the normal 5pm! LAME!
