This so much. It felt like a sketch movie without a central plot. Still enjoyed it but then I came home and rewatched the original - it's far superior.I went Friday and quite enjoyed it.
It IS dumb - but so was the first one!
They definitely tried to shove in too many addtional subplots and new characters - but if you really, really liked the first one, the callbacks and general craftsmanship of the film make it an entertaining nostalgia ride.
Well crap. If Torbs likes it then I know it's shit! LolI went Friday and quite enjoyed it.

I actually loved it. I didn’t think there were too many subplots at all. They all come together at the end really well. The only issue I had was the ending for the character of Beetlejuice, but there was definitely some foreshadowing for that. I also knew exactly who Monica Belucci’s character was immediately because the family had just watched the original in the morning, and I loved that they brought in a character just hinted at in the original. My wife mentioned many elements that felt like a twisted, more-adult Hocus Pocus. That didn’t bother me because the original borrowed some elements from Return of the Living Dead (and hinted as much).This so much. It felt like a sketch movie without a central plot.

Pretty much this. First half was too slow introducing the daughter dynamic in the family . The chick who plays the daughter is mediocre at best in the role. It finishes strong and there’s just enough of Keaton to not be too much. All in all, for a completely unnecessary movie, they did about as good as you could hope for. 7/10.I went Friday and quite enjoyed it.

Caddyshack 2 is the superior sequel.
Hey if I wanted to be a piece of sports equipment, I’d be a ladies bicycle seat.Caddyshack 2 is the superior sequel.
I thought it was fine, and frankly better than I expected it to be after 30 years since the original.Anyone go and see it? I was going to go with my son but I'm hearing it's really dumb. Not sure I want to spend the money.
Interesting. I had the opposite reaction - enjoyed the first 2/3 but thought the climax fell a little flat for me.Pretty much this.

I can recall taking my now grown children to see the first one with a couple of their friends and they thought it was awesome then,I went Friday and quite enjoyed it.

It’s teased in the trailers but I liked how they referenced that song in the movie.I can recall taking my now grown children to see the first one with a couple of their friends and they thought it was awesome then,
Sequels are rarely ever as good though so you’re probably right.
Day-O….
I saw bits and pieces when it was on HBO. I never really got into it. I am not a big Tim Burton fan for whatever reason. Though I did like Big Fish.Never saw the first one, definitely won't be seeing the second.
Burton has always been a guy that I either love or hate his flicks for the most part. Rarely has one been just okay for me.I saw bits and pieces when it was on HBO. I never really got into it. I am not a big Tim Burton fan for whatever reason. Though I did like Big Fish.
