It doesn't matter if it's good or not, as long as the box office doesn't lose money

I don't know what's the difference between this second one and the first one, it feels the same. The only difference is that the first one looks better. Generally, the sequel is difficult to surpass the level of the previous one.
It's pretty good to be able to shoot just as well. There is a kind of suspense in my heart when I watch the first one, and something may happen at any time. The first time I walked into the cave, I saw those weird caves. The unknown dark shadow that flashes at any time is also extremely worrying. But after watching the second part, I already know the background and scenes of the story, and I have a good idea of ​​what the monster is, so the atmosphere of fear is greatly reduced. The first one begins with a description of easy travel, the joy of adventure. Just in line with the catastrophic destruction that followed. Pleasure versus pain, and horror movies do well this way (like Texas Chainsaw Prequel). And the second part was suffering from the beginning, there was no comparison, and the horror could not be highlighted. And the first is a few unarmed expedition girls. The second is mostly strong cops. There is less powerlessness and fear in the face of crisis.
In addition, the second part is not very logically rigorous. For example, they are going down from a mine to save people. It wasn't where the expedition came from, and it wasn't from the mouth of the cave that the woman came out of. So how do they know it's there? Why didn't the woman who escaped from the bottom of the cave tell the police what was in the cave? It felt like the police were stunned when they saw those monsters, and they seemed unprepared. The woman suddenly went mad, ran forward and attacked the police. Why did she, a weak woman, do this? ? What is the purpose. (Looks like it's just for the sake of the plot, separating them) It seems that only one of the cops has a gun, and that gun didn't come in handy until the end.
The woman was trapped by the stone and could not come out to wait for rescue. But later, after the monster's attack, he got out of the rock pile in horror and escaped. This proves that the gap between the stones can be drilled. Why didn't you try it just now. This is so fake.
The policeman who was dragged by the handcuffs, why didn't he try to climb up, and why didn't the people above try to drag him up? And it is a sharp chisel to cut off the hand. Can that cut off the hand? Poke a few holes at most, how can it be so easy to cut off.
Finally, two points. First, the police in the United States are really old, and they still do not retire when they are so old. . Second, the ending is a bit lacking in foreshadowing. Seeing this posture is to shoot the darkness 3. I think it is better not to shoot, if you change the soup or not. What's the difference between shooting one and three? Be sure to add some new elements into it, so that the movie has vitality. (Geshan has eyes so classic, the second part is still boring)
