My Thoughts
I did not see "Happy Death Day" in theaters when it came out back in 2017. I finally got the chance to see it on HBO and the film was better than i thought it would be. I decided once a sequel was announced that I would see it. Honestly this film was interesting to say the least, what I mean by strange is the plot point for this film and how it played out over the 100 Minute run time was a bit of a stretch to understand and it got a little to far fetched for my liking. The acting was solid and the cast did a good job overall there where no weak performances and that was good to see. What I did like about this film was the comedic side to it, normally slasher films are for the most part very serious, this film is not that and i can say i laughed a few times which I appreciated from the original and it was good to see the filmmakers didn't differentiate to far from the original. The plot overall for me was the weak point, it just did not maker any sense in a film like this and while the film flowed together pretty well, it just didn't work like the plot in the first film did for me which was a shame as I had pretty high hopes for this film. Rotten Tomatoes gave this film a 67% saying " A funnier follow-up with a sci-fi bent, Happy Death Day 2U isn't as fiendishly fresh as its predecessor, but fans of the original may still find this a sequel worth celebrating". I agree the film was funnier than the first film which I enjoyed but other than that I feel the first film was better, thats not to say this film was terrible, it was solid but I expected something different and while I appreciate the far fetvched nature of this film, it just didnt work for me.
Rating
Not terrible, but I prefer the Original film 6.4/10!!
