Advantages: the basic plot of scream but different! it works! Disadvantages: the ending!
After watching scream i couldn't wait too see the sequal! Everything was going fine for the first hour and a half and then comes the ending! what a load of garbage!I mean did they spend all there time on the rest of the film and about three minuites on the murderer! for a hollywood film that follows a film such as scream which had the country in raptures, you would have thought they could have done a better job! In all fairness most of the film was ... ...it wasn't well thought out, sure it acted as a surprise but it didnt work in my opinion! anyway i'm not going to give any more away! just to say if you liked scream get the movie, but the ending doesnt compare im afraid! chalky! ...

...year or next!)
The second scream film is good. When I first saw it I thought that it was better than the original, but subsequent viewings have left me unsure. The story is pretty much the same, with the survivors of the first film coming back for more! The body count is probably a little higher in this one, and if my eyes don't decieve me I think Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy) is one of the extras who gets the chop! What disappointed me about this ...

...based on the events of scream 1 written by Courteney Cox's character Gale Weathers). On the whole I didn't think Scream needed a sequel, and I was shocked to hear that there is yet another sequel - Scream 3. I can only hope that they won't ruin a good thing by churning out pathetic sequel after pathetic sequel (Friday 13th or Freddy Kruegar ring a bell?). I'd give this film 7 out of 10. ...

Advantages: More deaths. More jumps. Disadvantages: Ending a tad weak?
Having seen Scream and being prettyy impressed both by the general amount of horror, suprises and acting of Neve Campbell, i decided Scream 2 would be worth a shot. Rarely is a sequel better then the original but I think Scream 2 holds its own against Scream. It kept the audience thinking and pondering who the killer is and because there was a greater cast, there was more people to kill and more options for things unexpected to happen. I had my own ... ...that is to be expected. There are a lot of jumps and bumps on the way, and I would recommend that if you enjoyed Scream then this is a defintie see and if you have never seen Scream, then Scream 2 isnt a bad place to start unfolding the horrors! ...

Advantages: its a scream Disadvantages: watch the 1st and be done with it
...the characters early on in Scream 2, which is followed by a short discussion about sequels that might just be better than the original. Is Scream 2 one of them? Definitely not. The first Scream film worked well because it played with the rules of the slasherflick (although it is far less original in this than you might think, as Wes Craven's own New Nightmare did pretty much the same thing) without subverting them and because it brought a much needed ... ...but it's still great fun. Scream 2 aimes for pretty much the same thing. It's another postmodern slasher where the characters know the rules of the genre and where the filmmakers play around with them.
Sometimes, it still works. The whole sequel-discussion will please anyone with a casual interest in film, the cameos by Heather Graham and Tori Spelling (as Neve Campbell's character in the movie-within-the-movie based on the events in Scream) are ...

This sequal is quite good, but not nearley as good as the original. It's funny and scary with the twists that the first film has got. It also keeps you guessing who the killer is.
However i think the story line was to similar to the original. The killer/killers are not focused on much during the film, so when you finally find out who it is you just think oh. You dont really know much about the character to care.
This films not bad for a sequal ...

Advantages: Unexpected ending, better than the first in many ways Disadvantages: Not scary
...them fail, the way that Scream 2 manages to succeed is that it lives by the motto ‘if it aint broke, don’t fix it’ and that’s exactly what Wes Craven does. Instead of continuing the story by creating an entirely new plot he decides that the film will be much more effective if it’s about a copycat killer that’s determined to finish Sidney off like the first killer failed. For all intents and purposes Scream 2 is actually a much more effective film. ... ...reveal at the end but Scream 2 manages to cram much more action into it. I’ve always felt that the party scene in Scream went on for a bit too long and in this film they’ve mixed it up a bit, you find the main characters in all different locations which makes it more exciting to watch. Scream 2 has also managed to evoke a lot more emotion from it’s characters, you feel sorry for Sidney for having to go through this nightmare again. You see Dewey ...

Advantages: still the same cast members from the first scream Disadvantages: very similar to the first scream
what a great follow up to scream, most sequels are nothing by comparism to the first but this is just great. The cast members are still in this one and the acting is good, still a man running around with a funny looking mask on killing everybody, but you are kept guessing until the end on who the killer is and I like films like that. I have watched this film many times and still find it funny but scary. If you like films that make you jump with a ...

...say is as good as scream one it is actually kind of funny when dewy falls down the stairs. Well incase u haven't seen it it's about when a film comes out of the murders in scream one and slowly the murders start to repeat themselves and until it's up to Sydney (neve campbell) to save the day agin along with co star Gail (courtney cox). The film is a must see for all horror movie fans but if you dont like getting a fright i wouldn't advise this. Not ...

This wasn't quite as good as the original Scream, but it's still a fairly good movie. I thought that Neve Campbell's boyfriend Derek was quite unattractive - he's one of those egotistical frat boys I always ran from in my dating days. His character didn't seem like the type of guy that Neve's character would go for. The actor that played Derek, Jerry O'Connell, apparently starred in Joe's Apartment, the movie about the guy living with a bunch of ...

...all go wrong the debut scream an impressive horroh movie for the ninteys may not have been horrifieing but it beet the crap out of this one.
an unbelievable predictable storyline with unrealistic murders and no more sherlock holmes murders styley
the film isnt all bad as it loses grip on the horroh section it rises in respect in the world of comedy with a few cracks that will make you screeam (with lafter I mean) it also no longer includes any ...
