4/10
a disappointment
17 February 2010
I'm not going to lie, but I am one of the few who actually enjoyed the first Urban Legend. I mean, yeah, sure, there were a lot of plot holes, but it built a good atmosphere and I, for one, am fascinated by urban legends, cryptids, Alien abduction and so forth, and this sequel looked like it had potential. I was young, and I liked this movie, and I also thought the killer's mask thing looked kinda cool. But now I'm older, and I realize how un-fun this movie is. nothing like the first film! I few things were nice, like Loretta devine, the ending, and the sci-fi nerds, but the kills didn't do it for me. I was let down by this sequel. I have also just realized how stupid the killer looks. what is he even wearing? It looks awful, nowhere near as scary as the killer's design for the first film, just a creepy fleece hood. it could be anybody. but how many people would own something like this? Also, the motive is outrageous. horrible. the first solution was quick, clever, and I almost sympathized with the killer for a few moments. But this has no shocks. I felt the first one was constantly strong, if not the best, though, but this one is just too slow. It trudges on at a snails pace. the legends they chose for this one, don't work. in the first, they wear well known, like the backseat killer or dog in the microwave. but here, the one about screams at midnight? It's just stupid at heart. Then,, of course, what are the films good points? well, while there being very few, it is this: the opening on the plane. It is just very laughable, but in a good way, unlike the rest of this garbage. I'm frustrated now. as well, the girl getting killed with the broken window, the kidney and the dog...Ridiculous, just ridiculous. and that sums up this film for me. A cheap scare fest with very little plot, annoying characters who get it early on so thank god! minimal gore. I disown it from the Urban Legends time line. i've heard that while bloody Mary isn't as bad, it's still pretty awful, but I haven't seen it yet, so, until that review, i hate this movie, altogether.
