Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted February 3, 2003 Ok...if you haven't seen the movie then turn back now. Ok, I just got back from the movie, so it's fresh on my mind. As a whole I liked it, but I like some really dumb horror movies. it was over the top cheesey and predictable. But I had fun at it...so the rest of the post is just me bitching about the movie. But I started on a pissed note, asshole of a friend had to take his time before leaving so I completly missed the Jason vs Freddy trailer...that almost ruined the whole thing for me. #1 bad acting...I know it's a horror movie, but no one came off the least bit likeable. That's the problem with most horror movies now, you have no reason to care for the main characters. #2 damn kid who dies at the end...sure, his explosion death was just hysterical, but he shouldn't have died. With the way things are suppose to happen, he was suppose to die if he fucked with death's plans. But he didn't. He was saved by random, and that happens hundreds of times every day, it's not like he saw his own death and changed it...or that anyone else who did so. When they had the oh so meaningful conversation in the car about how they all cheated death it almost seemed to imply anyone who was at all connected to anyone that died would die...but that just can't be...technically dozens would die who were connected to one of the weird deaths...then thousands connected to those ones...then on and on. #3 The pregnant woman...this just bugged me. With her playing zero role in the outcome of the movie there were too many ironic happenings, too convienent when she in fact had no role what so ever in the long run. That just bugged me. #4 predictable deaths...while all the deaths were more funny then scarey, none of them really caught you offgaurd. That really hurt things. And of course they had to end the movie with the hint of sequel...it just wouldn't be a horror movie otherwise. #5 one more thing...I didn't like that the girl would only see certain deaths. Nothing came to her for the guy who died in the fire or the lottery winner guy. Either go all out or not at all. With all that being said...I liked the damn thing. Is it a good movie? Hell no, it was awful...but sometimes awful is just as good as good. And I nearly pissed myself when the kid took the glass hit and his body exploded backwards on him.

Oh...good then. I guess I'm happier knowing there wasn't the trailer then just missing out on it...I heard it was a sure thing they were showing it. The thing that bothered me about the death scenes is that they were all real funny...unlike the scene in the beginning where the lottery kid was to die in the fire in his car...that was actually a little scarey to watch.

Yeah...good call to make the only real tense part in the movie in the first few minutes and not even be real. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mik at Cornell Report post Posted February 3, 2003 Just because he didn't see the trailer didn't mean there wasn't one. Different theaters all play different trailers. Both years I have seen LotR in 2 different theaters and saw 2 different sets of trailers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 3, 2003 The grill explosion at the end was fucking glorious. My favorite death in the whole thing was without a doubt the log going through the cop car, poor guy saw it coming and everything. The wreck scene was badass as a whole. Second best death has to go to the barbed wire slice/airbag skull impalement combo. Good shit, that. Not a good movie, but damned if it wasn't fun to watch. I was rolling through the whole thing. The deaths were fucking hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest converge241 Report post Posted February 3, 2003 HELP! i dont really have a major interest to see this but something has been nagging me as I saw the first one.. from the commercials im pretty sure Ali Larter is in it again but is Devon Sawa? I mean the guy kinda looks like him that they show in the commercial but he looks somewhat different too...and i thought i read somewhere that he wasnt a part of it.. thx in advance to whomever clears up this minor annoyance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 3, 2003 nah, he got bashed in the dome with a falling brick and died between movies. Sure it's a spoiler, but it's not very important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "chain" gets all blown to hell in this one. Pretty much anyone who was closely involved in anyone that died in the first one ends up dying. For example...one of the guys in this one was on the bus that splattered the girl in the first one...it's pretty lame how they tried to explain it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 3, 2003 Look, this isn't a movie where you're watching it for tight storytelling and good plot devices. It's got over the top, graphic deaths which are excellent, and that's about it. Don't go in expecting anything more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just hate when they try and do this big complex story and fill it with so many loopholes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest crandamaniac Report post Posted February 3, 2003 Did anybody else feel like the end was just one where they went "FUCK IT! Let's end this piece of shit" instead of really concluding it. That was the only part that really got me. And must agree, The BBQ death and that one kid who got squished by the glass (What was in that body bag anyways when they loaded him up) were the funniest in the whole movie.

Guest converge241 Report post Posted February 3, 2003 im not expecting much from it the first one was entertaining ..i just dont have the motivation to see pt II in the theater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They should have just cleaned up the glass kid with a mop and bucket. I wonder if the movie was suppose to be horror or comedy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
