The second movie in the series was only slightly better than the first. The only saving grace was Jason's Priestly portrayal of Tony Tatterton. He wasn't amazing but he was honestly the best thing about this movie. His character was the closest to the book than any of the other characters but once again they moved the story line so quickly that he went from nice to evil too quickly which is a missed plot point. Another major missed plot point is Heaven's hair color. In the movie they made it red even though in the book it was dark. The title of the book can have a lot of interpretations but one of them is that she looks like her mother, (who they called Angel), but she has black hair, hence the title "Dark Angel" but the movie doesn't delve into this. In the movie there is one line where Tony mentions that her hair isn't the same color as her mother's. But in the book her hair color is a major issue. Tony has her change her hair color so she can look more like her mother which helps drive Tony's obsession with Heaven. Most of V.C. Andrews series books are too detailed to do them justice by trying to cram them in a 2 hour movie. IMO each book would need at least a two part movie for it to make any sense. The first movie was horrible. I guess this one is just bad.
