I just watched this film thinking it would be terrible...but I had to see it because the original is a masterpiece. While this film didn't quite live up to the standards set before, I thought it was a fantastic film.
This film definately deserves more than 4.6 (?. I find that ridiculous.
It's better than many of the films in the top 250.
I'm going to give it a 10 to raise it's score a bit...
More American Graffiti should bein the 7.5-8.0 area

Also: I really like the structure, I thought it was ingeniously directed.

If you were to pretend there was no original "American Graffiti"...You would probably give this film the credit it deserves...

I don't believe it deserves a high score of 7.5-8.0.
Just my opinion though.

4.9 (as of August 19), is low as well.
It deserves at least a high 5.0- low 6.0.
Yes, they're many worse films than this, but, honestly, this wasn't a fantastic film by many standards. It was just, an average sequel, as many sequels become.
Just my opinion though.

yes, its true that 4.9 is low, but since the first is so well respected, anything short of amazing is gonna be rewarded with a low rating. ive been a regular on IMDB for sometime now and i understand why movies end up with the ratings they do. Having watched this movie, i believe that 4.9 is too low. Having said that, i do not think it should be rated higher than a 6. I would give it a 6 to 6.5, but i think a good rating (for imdb) would be a 5.7
