Wait on second thoughts, I think after I've calmed down for the hype, there are some downsides (this is why it is a seperate post) that I decided to omit, but still on the whole it was a great movie. Not so much downsides - as suggestions for next time.
1. Plot twists - too fast and most of them minor. Unfortunately, with knowledge of the prior movie you can instantly guess one or two. But still, it's fun to know you are up there in Jigsaw type intelligence.
2. Don't ask me why but it feels so... americanized. They jam packed it with actors to develop more of a plot. Unfortunately, with their increased budget, they didn't increase the length of the movie. Most of the characters were underdeveloped therefore defeating the purpose of it. Sure they were better actors - but I'd rather have a good developed script then actors which aren't the greatest.
3. It's aimed more to the masses. It has succumbed to the cliche of the horror genre - 'fast action = fast $$$s'. This left less pyschology - and for the cult followers even if we did find out some more about old characters, sometimes we feel a little left out.
But overall, I'm being picky. My suggestion would be go see this - or regret it. (And yes, there was blood).
