First off I loved the original urban legend , it was a very well constructed slasher film and a good one, not just another lazy one that's just there for the kill count
This sequel however I didn't like some of the choices that they made , dli absolutely don't hate it , you can het allot worse than this, bit some choices I didn't like so much First off this film was very humorous to the point of being wacky, while the first film had humour it want anything like this and it still took itself serious, this film had a very noticeable change in tone. Anthony Anderson is not a good actor he shouldn't be in this, he adds allot to the humorous side of things like in all his roles. I didn't like the final girl so much in this one and the only character i really liked was Eva Mendez's character, and Reese who is returning from the first film. I also liked the movie film school vibe , although it feels a bit copied off scream 3 . Another thing is that the opening was awful , it kind off opens in a film within a film type of way. Some characters are just plain dumb . Also this film doesn't revolve around urban legends as much as the first one
So on the positive side for me, we do get one great kill involving the kidney heist urban legend. Thats the only great and suspenseful kill in the entire movie, we get Eva Mendez . Reese from the first movie returns. And the ending with Brenda from the original was absolutely terrific, and redeems the film in many ways bit on the negative side, too much wacky humour, bad Anthony Anderson, not much about urban legends, dumb characters, awful opening.
Again I don't hate it, I will watch it again but it does not reach the heights of the original and they should have made something more mysterious and serious ( the film isn't a comedy horror , bit the humour doesn't fit here and I would say its half serious). As a fan of the original check it out but don't watch with too high of expectations.
