Better than the original

Rating: Null/10 (26 October 1998)

A lot of people disagreed with me on this, but I think this film was better than the original. The characters were more drawn out and the killers were a lot more creative. I'm not a huge fan of horror movies so when I saw the first film I was disappointed because I heard it was so good (I think a lot of that came from Barrymore fans) and I found out that it rather sounded cool with horror movie references and supposedly savvy and witty dialogue exchanged by the most annoying teenagers I've ever seen in a film and display blood and, literally, guts all over the screen. I didn't find it original, I found it to be full of itself. I went to see the sequel and thought that it was a little more thought out than its predecessor. I was actually shocked to find out who the killer was at the end. And, another thing, I thought it, at least, tried to be different from #1. After seeing 2 or 3 of the Jason movies, I realized, you've seen one episode of the series, you've seen them all. Now, I went to see this on my own free will, and I was glad I did. Now, I just wish this wasn't the sequel but the first in the series and that Scream 1 was never made.
