spoiler alert - this movie sucked

i have seen many movies in my time, and not many were as disappointing, boring, unimaginative, or even nearly as stupid as this. first of all, most of the movie was shot with a damn camcorder. it was like watching Cloverfield again. if i had known that, i would not have gone to see this steaming pile of crap. and i doubt this was even based on a real story. i sat through this film bored to tears cuz it was just like watching lame home movies, i actually thought about walking out of the theater halfway into it. nothing happens until about when there was 30 minutes left. i would like to say the special effects were nice, but there was none. i've seen more paranormal stuff on Ghost Hunters on the SciFi channel. and furthermore, when the activity finally started, it was not even scary at all. i feel sorry for anyone who finds this even remotely scary.

if you really need to see this, wait until you can download it, just dont waste your money.

So part 2 sucked?

If you watched the first movie then you should have known it was going to be shot with a camcorder. The movie isn't suppose to be a typical movie with a story but more real like. That was the point of cloverfield and Blair Witch Project. I haven't watch it yet but Im expecting to be the same as the first movie. I loved the first one. It wasn't really scary but more creepy. Things that pop up in front of you are what makes people scream and jump but once its over then its out of your head. Its the creepy stuff that stays in your mind. You know the movie was fake but when you see something creepy it will stay in your mind longer then most horror films.

Now I know most people hate the whole camcorder type movie and how people complain that they didn't know. Most of the time people don't know because in the trailer you can't tell. Cloverfield was like that and when I saw it I was surprise about it. No one should complain about that with Paranormal Activity 2 because if you saw the first movie you should have expect it was with a camcorder and the trailer shows off that.

This concludes my list of films shot on handheld camera that didn't suck monkey nuts.

no, i didnt see the first one. my near elderly mother wanted to see PA2, and i figured we'd get some quality time in before there's no time left. i'm just saying this movie was more boring than scary. even the scary parts were lame and didnt even start until the movie was almost over. when the movie goes quiet and then all of a sudden theres a super loud noise to startle you - thats not scary, it's annoying. the part i dont get is why does it need to be done with camcorder style? most of the time during the first boring half, the camera was pointing at cleavage which i really didnt want to see. is this what movie making has come down to?

even before i had to watch this, i had to sit through all the trailors for all the other bad movies. like the one about the train.
