Not as good, but could it have been?

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 1999)

Okay, Scream 2 is not as good as the original, but then that is only to be expected, as that was a darn good film. I agree with most people here in that the ending sucked. However, the score is much better than the one for the original (listen to the CD, & you'll see what I mean). It isn't just that it sounds like 'Broken Arrow' - Hans Zimmers' music for that film was tracked in, using the theme for John Travolta's cool villain as the theme for Dewey. Ho ho. Although it wasn't used too well (overused in fact), don't go blaming the whole score, as the rest of the original music (by Marco Beltrami) is in fact better than his music for the first one.
