An overrated sequel that should've been re-written.

Rating: Null/10 (13 March 2006)

I was never that much of a fan of the original Scream. Don't get me wrong, I did have fun watching it. But, like this sequel, it was very overrated, and it spawned some really bad imposters (I Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legend). But, the main problem I had with Scream was the killer GhostFace. There was nothing interesting about him/her (I'm not mentioning scary because there have only been two horror movies that have scared me. And I have had to have seen around 1,000 horror movies by now). He/she was just dull, repetitive, and annoying as hell! I just couldn't stand him/her! And this all came back to haunt me in Scream 2. GhostFace is more dull, repetitive, and annoying, and the movie had more plot holes than swiss cheese (I'll regret ever using that bad insult)! Like mentioned in the summary, this movie needed a re-write (and a more intriguing killer too). Scream 2 is also very low on gore and action, and the only excitement I had was in my pants when Neve Campbell was on screen. The only thing that I enjoyed was the ending. *SPOILERS* Sure, I didn't like the mother bit returning for revenge after her loss of her son (who was the killer and the original), and Mr. Double Duty could've been left out, because it was basically repeating what happened in the first Scream. But, I'll be damned if I wouldn't say that the action at the end wasn't exciting. We had gun shots, blood wounds, and more cheap shots than Joan Rivers on Oscar night (and the end credits had me excited, since it meant the dreadful movie was over).*END OF SPOILERS* This was just a cash-in to the first Scream.
