Scream 2 is pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (18 April 2006)

Scream 2 is undoubtfully very inferior to the first Scream, but is actually quite superior to the other big horror movie of 1997 I Know What You Did Last Summer (also written by Kevin Williamson). We all know what happened so here's my grade for Scream 2.
ACTING: Great performances from the returning cast (David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Jamie Kennedy, and Courteney Cox) Sarah Michelle Gellar was also good as was Jada Pinkett and Omar Epps. However, I wasn't fond of Jerry O'Connell, Elise Neal, or Laurie Metcalf. Everyone else was decent. 8/10
SCRIPT: Not as hip or scary as the original without question. I liked the sequel discussion though, but the end was a bit weird as was the beginning (I mean come on no one can get away with murder in a movie theater and if one of the killers moved out on their son, why would she kill for him) ARGH! There were parts about this movie that just annoyed me. 8/10
GORE: A lot less than the original. 6/10
SUSPENSE: Really I only found the end and the car scene to be truly suspenseful. Every else while not dull was OK. 7/10
SCORE: The same as Scream pretty much which was great and the songs chosen were great too. 10/10
OVERALL: 8/10
Extras were great on DVD too.
