Scream 2

Pros: Craven, the returning cast, lots of surprises
Cons: rehashed story, some things we are expected to believe that just wouldn't happen

After the surprising success of the first 'Scream' film, it went without saying that they could try and construct a sequel to make some more money off of the developing franchise. Wes Craven is back to Direct again, and he proves that he is good at what ...

Pros: Decent sequel that is mostly entertaining.
Cons: Not as original.  Some things don't work as well.

Since Scream was so successful when it came out, it was no surprise when two sequels were made.  I just watched Scream 2 again.Scream 2 is set a year ...

Pros: Hm...none that I can think of
Cons: Craven and Williamson repeatedly insult the audience by making a movie that is supposed to parody slasher cliche, yet relies on it whenever the plot bogs down.

Pros: Watching it could be considered martyrdom
Cons: acting, direction, everything

Why, oh why do I never learn? Despite so many disappointments, so much pain, I continue to watch the slasher genre in the vain hope that I might one day find a film that is worthwhile. I seem to set myself up to be disappointment and pain, watching ...

Pros: A good sequel
Cons: The Death Of Randy

"There are certain rules to a sequel. #1 The body count is always bigger. #2 The death scenes are always more elaborate, more blood and gore. Carnage candy. Your core audience just expects it. Everyone is a suspect." --Randy. Words of a wise...

Pros: Sidney's beaus courage to die for her
Cons: juvenile

Being only one vote in a group of six, it was decided Scream 2 would be the evenings entertainment.....

I also feel that it is too similar to Halloween and very predictable. Maybe I am also fed up with the bambi types who suffer from...

The Mood
On a rainy day, dark and gloomy, I place into the VCR a tape of what I thought might have been something that suited the weather. Scream 2 seemed to me to be a perfect...

Pros: Direction, Screenplay, Acting
Cons: The Finale

If you often read my reviews then you may remember my pretty high B+/***1/2 out of 4 review almost exactly a year ago to Scream. Well for all those Scream fans out there, I must admit that I have grown to love the film even more. Let me make this point:...
