¡Bu! 2: una noche de brujas de Madea, de Tyler Perry

The first Boo movie was actually pretty hilarious, but this one seems to be lacking. It has most of the same characters but there's not that much humor in it, it seems like they're focused more on horror than comedy. The only thing that was funny was the Grim Reaper scene, but that was about it. The first one was way better than this, hopefully Tyler Perry can make another good Madea movie.

Having just watched six preceding "Madea" movies prior to watching the 2017 movie "Boo 2! A Madea Halloween", I must admit that it was only with the previous 2016 "Boo! A Madea Halloween" movie that things were starting to brighten up, and the movie was heading down a proper comedy path, instead of that pseudo social commentary seriousness that the movies before that had adapted.

And I enjoyed the 2016 "Boo! A Madea Halloween" movie, so I have to admit that I was certainly harboring a certain expectation to the 2017 sequel "Boo 2! A Madea Halloween".

The storyline in the movie was okay, but not quite as entertaining as the one in the 2016 movie. Don't get me wrong here, because I am not saying that the sequel was bad, not at all, but it just lacked something that the previous movie had.

Tyler Perry and Cassi Davis were the only performers I was familiar with. It should be noted, though, that some of the frat students from the 2016 movie also returned to reprise their characters in this sequel, which was a nice touch for continuity. The acting performances in the movie were good.

My rating of writer and director Tyler Perry's 2017 movie "Boo 2! A Madea Halloween" lands on a five out of ten stars.

Ok, so i enjoyed the first Boo! Madea movie, but this sequel is just flat out bad. It has the worst problems that a comedy can have. This movie suffers from being criminally unfunny. I had lots of fun with the first one because it was actually funny, this one is NOT. I think I laughed like twice, and it wasn't hard laughs, just mild chuckles. I couldn't laugh hard because the material here is just bland. I really hate that this sequel is like this, because it could've been on par with the first or maybe even funnier. I think they just wanted to churn out a sequel really quickly since the first Boo movie did well. Ok so not only is this movie unfunny, but it's also badly put together. Some of the camera angles are kinda sketchy sometimes, and that's confusing since Perry has done so many films by now. Also, what I found extremely strange was some dubbing. It's like they thought they couldn't say damn or s**t sometimes, because they would (badly) dub the characters. Their mouths would obviously be saying the real word, but it would come out darn or crap, they do know those words are allowed in a PG-13 movie right?? And it's only sometimes, i don't know it's really weird. Kind of reminded me of when you see a movie edited for TV. Overall, this movie is just a dull unfunny sequel that could've been funny if they would've tried. 2/10.

It's alright if you're looking for something mindless to watch. If Madea and Bam could be a bigger focus, that's be great. If Tyler Perry didn't appear as himself, that'd be great. If they could get some decent actors, that'd be great.

So as far as sequels go, this is a very typical one. I went to see Boo 2 because though Tyler Perry movies are not really my thing, I actually enjoined the first Boo, so I took the chance that I would enjoy the second one.

I totally did, too. It's not as good as the original. As much as I found the original funny, it also had an attempt to show family values in it that was not lost on me. This time around their attempt (If there was one cause I did not see it) was literally taken out to make more room for laughs. In a lot of ways it made the film like the second episode of one of Perry's shows (Which I like more than his movies), as it seems nobody learned the lesson from the first Madea Halloween.

Case in point, like the original, Boo 2 is about Joe trying to discipline his entitled daughter, Tiffany. Once again she defies her overbearing father's wishes in order to go to a party at midnight in the woods at a camp where a bunch of people got murdered. Now I understand the natural urge for a teenager not to want to listen to her dad, but when your aunt is someone like Madea, you would think you would think twice about this woman coming to track you down, especially after what happen in the last movie.

Like the last film, Boo 2 focuses on Madea and her friends running into terror and danger while trying to get to Tiffany. The film likes to Parody current themes in horror like with influences of Korean horror and it also pokes a nod to old school Horror with the film taking place at a camp and the underage teens being hunted by a man with a mask and a chainsaw.

Overall, I much prefer the more light hearted Tyler Perry movies. Sometimes his stuff can be too over dramatic for me, but I seem to like it when he goes for straight up Sitcom style on us and that's Boo 2!

It's crazy and filled with laughs and no matter where it fails compare to the first one, we are there to laugh and that's what makes this sequel enjoyable.
