If the CGI wasn't... early it would've been a simply underwhelming sequel. There were a few redeeming elements (like Bruce Campbell's appearance) but otherwise it lacked the charm and originality of Escape from New York.
New York has some really bad scenes too, direction and acting of the one on Air Force One is like from Plan 9 From Outer Space.
His take on Who Goes There (The Thing) is an almost perfect movie tho (wish they did the original ending before they run out of time and money). I watched this film so many times, first time when I was like 10 and it's still so good.
Carpenter's The Thing is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I could rant for an hour about why it's so great, but I'm about to go watch Escape From New York.

EFLA was more of a comedy than anything else. Once I realized that, I kind of enjoyed it for what it was, but it didn't hold a candle to EFNY.
