Not very good

Rating: 4/10 (13 May 2010)

I...don't really like this movie very much. There is some stuff I like, but there is just too much stuff that doesn't add up for me. I just don't get why people consider this the best in the franchise, or at least the only good sequel. I can understand liking it, but I just can't see how you can like this and not like at least 3 and 5.
First, some of the deaths scenes don't make sense. Why did Tommy do something as stupid as to run out into a construction site to chase pigeons. How is it that the elevator moves despite the the doors being opened. Also, there are a lot of things that don't add up. Why is it that death is going backwards. Kimberly and her friends died last in the vision and died first in real life (except for Kimberly who was saved.) Did I miss it, I've seen this film like three times and I still don't understand how that works. And while the idea of the first movie character's deaths saving these new characters from dying and thus death wants to kill them again, it basically means that death is an idiot. He messed up his own plan. The sucide doesn't make a damn bit of sense. And the ending sucked. Unless Bryan had that bone disease Samuel L. Jackson had in Unbreakable, I don't see how he would have died from that newsfan hitting him.
But I don't hate this film, there are some deaths scenes that I really enjoyed such as the barb wire fence and the explosion in the hospital and even the fire escape was fun. The opening disaster was fantastic, I love the stuntwork and the effects. There are some funny moments. And it at least seemed like they were trying really hard to make this a good sequel.
I don't hate this movie, but there are too many things wrong with it for me. If you like it that's cool, but I can't see how it can be considered the best in the franchise.
