Why?

I have so many questions about this movie. First, why did they call it Belly 2? There were no actors or characters from the first Belly. The director wasn't even the same. Second, why was this even released? This is just another typical "thug" movie. Belly was unique in so many aspects and they decide to make another crappy cliche hood movie and slap the name Belly on it. Another question is, why didn't anyone involved with the production of this movie tell The Game how to act? I swear, when he did the narrations, I thought that was some other guy. He did not sound natural at all. This movie should have never been released, or at least not be called Belly 2. What a way to ruin the true classic that the original Belly was. What's next? A sequel to Juice starring Chris Brown and Fergie? And it would be about some guys in Miami who try to keep their prostitution ring successful...Wait that wouldn't be a sequel. That would be a completely unrelated movie with the name Juice 2: Pimpin' ain't eazy/ By Uwe Boll.

That was another guy narrating. I can't believe somebody got paid to write this movie. I don't know where to start.

****POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING*****************************

Game goes to see his parole officer who tells him that he needs to get a job as a condition of his parole. He doesn't get one and instead, digs up a box of guns and starts killing people. The P.O. never bothers to check on him again, even though he's become such a powerful drug lord that the FBI is after him. They send an agent in who falls in love with him, even though he doesn't do anything remotely charming through the whole movie. Despite the fact that the Feds have him tapped and are running survailance on her and should more than likely have enough evidence to arrest both him and the crooked cop they are after, said cop still kidnaps her without anyone knowing. Game shows up and kills a building full of people including her for betraying him and just walks out. Are you kidding me with this crap?

This movie was paid for by Game (out of pocket) and a few other dudes who also put up money to have it made. That's why it looks like a bad College indy-video project. The movie was originally called "Millionaire Boyz Club", but when Game and friends sold the movie to the publisher or whatever, the publisher wouldn't release it without adding "Belly" to it, which was an obvious attempt to gain extra sells.

I respect the Game and all, but wtf @ him letting them put the Belly name on this POS when it doesn't have anything to do with Belly.
