You're being too kind. It's probably worse than that :-)

Actually, I've got both on DVD and they're enjoyable on a very occasional basis. The second is really a re-hash of the first with a couple of twists just to avoid doing exactly the same thing twice and I think it's worst aspect is the fact that it is so much of a re-hash in many ways. You can almost say that if you've seen one you've seen them both.

Light, trite, no socially redeeming features, probably low B-grade action films which really aren't anywhere near the quality of the best of Carpenter's work.
