Smile 2

Just not that good. I'd say it was fine, but not good. The smiles didn't seem as good/creepy. The beginning dragged on for what seemed like forever. The second half did pick up pace. The main character was unrelateable and it felt like she deserved it. The leading actress did a good job and performed well. And the evil was expanded on from the original. That is about all the good things i can think of. Overall it was boring and then corny. It wasn't as scary as I hoped and was lacking the unsettling tone the first one had. This one was just okay and I don't think it's worth a second watch. I wouldn't recommend it, but wouldn't discourage giving it a chance. To me it was just average at best.

Much like its predecessor Smile 2 just isn't for me. That being said I can appreciate good cinema when it's staring me the face, hence why my rating isn't lower. if I was rating Smile 2 by my personal enjoyment of the film alone, I may have it much lower than it is. But much like the original film, smile 2 shows us a very dark decent into madness for our protagonist of Skye Riley who is now possessed by this creature. Naomi Scotts portrayal of this is damn near perfect! I would make a case for this to be the performance of the year as far as horror films go as Naomi Scott carries this film on her back from start to finish! As I stated these films really don't hit the mark for me personally, but I can appreciate how much heart and care clearly has gone into making them, and I can definitely appreciate an amazing performance to the likes of this one!

Not too often a movie actually creeps me out, nor does better than its predecessor. Scary as &$@!

The movie was boring and her acting was way to over the top that it is so cringe. Story kept jumping worse than a rabbit in heat.

After seeing Smile with my girlfriend I figured I might as well see Smile 2 as it was available to stream. And it's okay. I'm just more of a fan of practical effects. CGI effects aren't scary to me. On top of that the whole movie doesn't make a lot of sense. I always felt like they just took the idea from."It follows" and put a little twist on it. It Follows is way better. This one is just a cheap ride that relies on the gore effect to save it. The acting isn't bad. But the story is laughable at times. All in all it's worth a watch I suppose. It's better than Gladiator 2 if that tells you anything.

A great premise that utilizes the real life consequences of guilt and trauma with a couple of genuinely skin crawling scenes. Unfortunately, the rest of the attempted fear comes through too many predictable jump scares that fail to tie together the rest of the plot into a worthy sequel.

Wow. That was a lot of snot coming out of her nose the entire movie. Perhaps, one single scene where the excessive snot wasn't evident in your face? Gross. I'll stick to horror that leaves that detail out! Of course, the bloody guts are great but boogers, no way! I'm canceling this actress for excessive nose booger

Excellent movie that was better than the first.

Naomi Scott (Skye) crushed this role in Smile 2. They did right by making this one revolve around a pop star dealing with her own demons and guilt just before the launch of her tour. Let me just state that Naomi (to me) truly delivers the shocked, scared, confused, sleep deprived, shame, crying, apologetic, anger and a bevy of other emotions with just her facial expressions and no words being said at all. I was convinced what Skye was feeling throughout the movie was real to her. Next, the writing to me is better than the first movie. No knock to Smile 1--loved it. Smile 2 seems to push the boundaries a bit more. Being an audio prod guy myself I have to give a standing o to the sound designer on this film. Top notch audio, production, special effects (amazing) and film scoring. I watched this twice so far. Keep in mind you don't have to see the first one to understand 2...BUT....I would highly suggest to watch 1 first. Smile 2 picks right back up from were 1 ends. I hope they make Smile 3, perhaps expand on WTH the Smile entity is, and we find out what happens where 2 leaves off. Because when you see it, you're gonna be like... oh sh**.

I have mixed feelings about this one. Music choice and production is top-notch. Maybe they went overboard a bit at the end, but the overall quality of scenes in this movie is awesome. The predictability of the ending was a letdown. I guessed the outcome within the first 15 minutes, and it still managed to disappoint. The ending could've been done much better. While this sequel has its moments, I personally prefer the first movie. But I can give this one bonus points for managing to scare me far more effectively. I recommend this movie!
