Saw it last night, back 2 back with the first one!
I gotta say, I enjoyed it a LOT!!
Don't want to spoil too much... here's my take on it:
Saw them back to back last night...it feels like just one movie! I do not know if Wan had it sort of planned like this all along, but there's a lot of very clever connections between both movies that make them feel almost seamless. But let's talk about Insidious 2 on it's own.
The good, the creepiness is still there, new creepy ghosts and entities roam around, visually I love it, just as good if not better than the first one! The story picks up right after the end of the first movie, and it has some interesting twists and elements that make it compelling.
As far as scares it's a bit milder than the original in my opinion, but it makes up for it in the entertaining department. A friend of mine put it this way, it's like Alien and Aliens (as far as the different feel of each movie, not comparing them of course!
)
The best part of it, is how they cleverly connected all the plot points to make it an enjoyable ride, and while some people might hate this, I actually welcome it, because it's not like they are repeating the exact same formula as the first one. I'm sure critics will hate it, but I for one, had a blast watching it, and when I went to bed, had to remind myself, it was just a movie... right?
Anybody else seen it already?
