Summary: Action, Thrills and Laughs Galore...
Review: ...in this great follow-up of the original Scream. A different setting, new actors and a great movie-in-movie gag make Scream 2 very different from the first. This time the movie opens in a movie theater screening the film "Stab" based upon Gail Weathers book "The Woodsboro murders". A couple wants to watch this movie in piece but as in the first movie they don't have very long to live. Sidney, now at College, has heard of these murders but doesn't think they are related with the "Woodsboro murders". Soon the killer is after her too. Terrifying her, waiting to catch her like a cat would a bird. He sneeks up and when you least expect it... A great sequel where the surviving cast of "Scream" rejoin Sidney in fear, paranoia and suspicion. Arranged with great acting, scares, and a suspensful finish this movie gets five stars. The only things that will bother you are the facts that the murderer can never be exposed by yourself if you don't know the film yet. There's just no hint...at all!
And it will also bother you that Scream 2 isn't as scary as the first one and is more of a horror soap-opera than a real scary movie. It isn't as violent as the first movie and it isn't as chilling and frightening as the first but it's still very very good and deserves 5 stars for the original murdering sequences that seem to get better every movie. Well that's all to say about "Scream 2".
Thank you for reading

Summary: Scream once, scream twice
Review: The film itself is great. With enough jolts to keep you wetting the seat, and shrieks to keep you coughing, it works. From the opening scene(Which oddly looks like the opening from "He Knows your Alone") where Maureen Evans and Phil Stevens are killed to the unveiling of the killer,we are hooked.The death that stood out to me, as a stuntman, was the death of Cici Cooper(portrayed by Sarah Michelle Gellar). At the point of being thrown off the 3 story soroity house, I was spell bound. All I can say is that Wes Craven is a genius.

Summary: 3.5 Stars
Review: Wow, this is a shock, this one is actually better than the first! Fully aware of its status as the sequel to the surprise hit thriller of 1996, this lively follow-up trades freshness for familiarity, playing on our affection for returning characters while obeying--and then subverting--the "rules" of sequels. Once again, movie references are cleverly employed to draw us into the story, which takes place two years after the events of Scream, at a small Ohio college, where the Scream survivors reunite when another series of mysterious killings begins. Scream 2 does a lot better job in hiding the killer, and has a few good jolts, and has what the first film didn't have...SUSPENSE! I now have respect for this movie series, and I will see the third one. This one has a great story, great acting, and a smart killer, all of wich the first one didn't have, so see the first one then see the next one, wich is even better!

Summary: Pretty Good Sequel
Review: Although Scream 2 is a good sequel in many respects, I felt that this film lacked much of the freshness of the first. The cast was good and the twists and turns surprised you, but it just wasn't the same. I would still recommend this film, especially after watching the first, but I wouldn't make it mandatory.

Summary: Scream 2
Review: Scream 2 saw an improvement to the series because the body count was 3 times as high than the first, there were some twists and turns and an all star cast doesn't hurt either. Sidney's back and this time she's in college and when a couple of her classmates are killed at the movie premiere of her story (Stab). At first everyone thinks that it was just one of those things and as it turns out, the murders are related and now it's up to Sidney to survive and Randy, Gail and Dewey to find the killer. I actually liked Scream 2 the most out of all 3 just because it was a little more intense and a little more personal than the first (as far as the murders go, not as much hack and slashing). The soundtrack was also significantly better from the first. The thing that bothered me was the twists and turns at the end. I can't give it away but it's a really lame twist at the end. I won't deny that it is a surprise at the end but it's still kind of lame. And again, my same complaint that I had with the first, the men that are stalked are wussies and they die with ease but the chicks seem to handle the killer before getting cut down. Make sure to watch Scream first otherwise there are going to be A LOT of things that won't make sense. Also, check out URBAN LEGENDS and FINAL DESTINATION as well. Another 2 great titles.

Summary: A terrific sequel that lacks the punch of the first film
Review: As a whole, ignoring the conclusion for a moment, I judge Scream 2 to be the best film in the Scream trilogy. The opening scene is quite brilliant in design, setting the backdrop as a movie theatre premiering the movie Stab (based on Gale Weathers' book about the killing spree documented in the original movie); basically, we watch enthusiastic audience members raucously enjoy a dramatization of the opening scene of Scream, and the first murders take place in this theatre full of masked, knife-wielding audience members-it's a perfect backdrop (but Jada Pinckett's death swoon is incredibly prolonged). Rather than shirk criticism about this just being another rehashed sequel, Scream 2 is built around the very idea of recreating the events of the first movie. We are on familiar ground from the very start of the action, feeling quite comfortable with the main characters from the original film: Sidney, Dewey, Randy, Gale, and-in a manner of speaking-the killer. The introduction of Cotton Weary, the man who was wrongfully sentenced to prison for the murder of Sidney's mother, is a very effective addition that does much to increase both the suspense and mystery of the film as well as the list of possible suspects. New cast members I took special note of include Heather Graham, Sarah Michelle Gellar (in a definite non-Buffy role), Portia de Rossi, and the singular Rebecca Gayheart, and I am happy to report at least one of these most attractive women does not succumb to the killer's knife. The original Scream was a pretty original take on slasher films, and I was a little surprised to find the plot of this sequel equaling if not bettering that of the original film throughout the first two-thirds of the drama. To some extent, we have seen all of this before-the killer calling his victims on the phone and then jumping out of nowhere with that familiar mask and sharp knife, individuals trying to escape the killer's grasp and usually failing to do so; Sydney facing up to her fears and trying to survive. It all works well here, though. The killings are not quite as violent or gory this time around, but the suspense is palpable throughout the entire movie. The killer even made me twinge a time or two, and that rarely happens. The only criticism I would have of Scream 2 is the ending. It is much too long and drawn-out, for one thing. It is also somewhat weakened by the fact that we know what kind of revelation to expect; it was well nigh impossible, even for as talented a script writer as Kevin Williamson, to top the power and surprise of Scream's final moments. Even though I was unsure who the bad guys were in the first movie, in retrospect I could go back and analyze the clues to see that it made sense. While the identity of the killer(s) did surprise me somewhat in this sequel, this was largely because the evidence I needed to figure out the mystery was not there for the most part; too much of the truth is hidden from us until the climaxing moments of the movie. Scream 2 is a remarkably good sequel, one that does not fall victim to the curse of progressively bad follow-up films the horror genre is rife with. Its additional comedic element, such as can be found in the interaction between Dewey and Gale as well as in Randy's theories on horror sequels, does help to offset any disappointment to be found in the film's ultimate revelations. Of course, it is all but impossible for it to achieve the same effect on the viewer as the original Scream did because, while you may not know exactly what is coming, you can be reasonably sure that you know the form in which it will appear.
