Even worse than the first

It really is shsocking. I tried so hard to find humour in it, irony, or something, anything to redeem it, but answer came there none.

Not scary, not funny, not well made, not a good script.... Um, that's it.

Sometimes I hate being a 'completist' - I watch sequels of films I've seen, even if they were all dreadful. As a result, I've seen all the Police Academy films. I'd rather watch all of them again than this one more time...

That makes me feel sad for you. The Police Academy films aren't worth wiping the arse of any of the The Evil Dead films, even the average recent remake/reimagining.

Personally, I think you're just trolling. I can buy that the humor or the horror didn't work for you, but not well made? Now you're just making *beep* up. Watch any behind-the-scenes production footage and you will instantly prove yourself wrong.

Well, technically, I can't be trolling as I joined a thread started by someone else who said it was worse than the first, and I agreed. Also, *whatever-the-opposite-of-technically-is* not trolling either, I'm just offering my simple opinion - and as we know, opinions can't be proved or disproved, they just are.

Sorry to say, I have no interest in seeing any of the behind the scenes stuff for this, life's just too short. Maybe I was wrong and there is a high quality production ethos behind the finished product - I'm prepared to accept that, although I find it hard to believe. Either way, the finished product appeared to me to be really poorly made. I've managed to put a lot of it out of my mind now, but what I can recall is a strong impression of a film that had the feel of something done by a bunch of kids in the summer break. I stress it had the 'feel' of that, although clearly would be beyond that from a budget/technical/effects level.

I gave it a go - even though I didn't enjoy the first film either, I came to it with an open mind. I just have a different opinion on it from you (and clearly many others, including some whose film tastes I respect otherwise). Anyway, not trolling, just different.

I like both this film and the first one, but I'd say Part II is a bit better. They're just so fun and it's impossible to be bored while watching them because there's so much going on.

This post is worse than your first.

If that's possible.

A Superman without trunks isn't worth watching or reading about.
