A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT

Rating: 4/10 (8 September 2019)

We were all geared up to see this movie, and we saw it this afternoon. We had seen the first part of the remake 2 years ago, and even though there were certain aspects that were far better than the original, the bulk of it was not as good. We still vowed that we were going to see part 2 when it came out. We both thought that the humor was way too forced, and the jokes we're really not funny. There's too much over acting with certain characters, and not enough emotion and/or fear expressed realistically with other characters. There were creatures that were added into the film was like watching a 60s or early 70s horror movie. It looks like something that Sam Raimi would do - if you see it, you'll know what I mean. The movie really dragged on a number of occasions that really didn't have much content, and that left us wondering why on Earth they were not edited or shortened, because the last thing you want to do is put your viewers to sleep. I could not believe it, but I nodded off 3 times!! In the first section of the movie the vulgarities we're so extensive and there was no point to it. It was vulgar for the sake of being vulgar. There is little innocence in these children which we both found disturbing in both part 1 and 2. I found the battle at the end to be better in this one then in the original, however, after the battle the movie dragged on again, and I was glad to get up and leave. It was a really good size audience but it was just some of the kids that laughed just a few times more than we did. Everyone was pretty silent in leaving the theater. It's such a pity when such an anticipated movie comes out and it turns out to be so disappointing. The actors were good but it was a waste of talent.
