A better experience than the first ..

Rating: 7/10 (9 June 2011)

Comedy is not one of my favorite movie genres, i am more of a Thriller or Drama type of guy. however, i like to watch Comdies every now and then. When i first watched the first Hangover movie, i was not impressed much and i thought that it was over hyped and over rated. I was really puzzled by the over praise the first movie got, i thought maybe it was ruined for me because i saw too many clips before i watched the movie itself, and the trailer really did give away a lot of key moments. So this time around, i avoided watching the trailer, and avoided reading or hearing anything of the new Hangover 2, and i guess it paid off, because i felt that i enjoyed this more than the first for sure.
one of the things i liked about part 2 is that it takes place in Thailand, i thought that events happening in unfamiliar territory is always fun, and the director captured some very lovely scenes of the city adding a nice flavor to the film.
I was also surprised with several scenes that were unexpected to me, " again probably because i avoided the trailer ", the story was fun and of course similar to the first, but kept me interested enough. i liked the action scenes they added to the plot, made it a bit more lively.
As i mentioned earlier, im not a big fan of comedy, and i thought many scenes that were suppose to be funny ended up being ridiculous and lame, but that is just me. however, there were some scenes that were actually funny and i laughed out loud at.
I like Bradly Cooper, and Ed helms was funny. I however, find Zach Galifiankis a bit annoying, and he seems to play the same character in all his movies " Due date ? ", but the Asian guy Jeong seems even more annoying, they both don't seem naturally funny to me. I loved the Monkey though !! :)
to end up, i thought it was a better experience for me than the first, some funny scenes and a good enough plot. Loved the Thailand scenes, and the monkey. enjoyable, i would recommend this.
