But I still don't really know either what the main plot was supposed to be all about. An excellent subject for a science-fiction/thriller, you guys! They really didn't come up with anything good or exciting, which is really the most disappointing thing about this movie and its story. Plenty of awesome ingredients and potential to play around with you would imaging but strangely enough the only thing they could come up with was letting the main character accidentally put stuff on fire every time she was getting too excited during sex. Here you have a movie in which your main character has the ability to put everything on fire with her telekinetic powers, as well as a bunch of other persons with X-Men like powers. Couldn't they simply come up with a fresh new villain? But this is the foremost problem with this movie it's a sequel without any imagination or good ideas. It reminded me of the way they brought back the Durant character in all of the Darkman sequels. But if you have seen the first movie you know that it's pretty much a solid fact that there is no way the character could still be alive, or at least could definitely not look as 'well' as Malcolm McDowell did. Scott, who played the villain John Rainbird in the first movie.
He now suddenly looks like Malcolm McDowell with a half burned face, instead of George C. But guess what, apparently the bad guy didn't die at all. All of the bad guys died and Charlie McGee eventually ended up well. "Firestarter" had a pretty much closed ending. Who knows, perhaps this is all more faithful to the actual Stephen King novel but just don't call your movie "Firestarter 2: Rekindled" when you are taking a totally different approach with the story and completely ignore the stuff from the earlier 1984 movie. It completely ignores some fact from the first movie as well as actual moments that we did see happening. This movie is filled with some flashbacks, that however don't make any sense when you have already seen the first movie.
Is this movie even an official sequel? I ask so because this movie totally ignores events from the previous movie and simply blatantly even alters things.
