Having seen, and loved, the original film, The Crow, I expected the sequel The Crow:City Of Angels to be good too. I was wrong and disappointed. The film lacked any emotion, and did not encourage the audience to become involved, as The Crow (the first film) did. Maybe I was expecting too much after Brandon Lee's excellent performance in The Crow, but I was willing to give it a chance. I don't think I'll ever watch this film again.

I saw Scream 2 for the first time last night and think that it is much better than Scream, although they are both excellent. The best thing about them is knowing that the killer is one of the main characters and trying to figure out who he/she is. The sequel definitely has more blood and my favourite scene was in the police car. The downfall of both the movies is that they are both very predictable and had me and my friends shouting at the characters, for example, somebody gets a weird phone call in the middle of the night when there's loads of murders going on, so they go outside and look around (giving the killer time to get inside the house) and then they go back in and lock all the doors so they are trapped. However, I think Scream and Scream 2 are both excellent films, and prove the theory about sequels being worse than the orignal wrong-I preferred Scream 2.

I thought the best thing about this movie was the ending...not because it had finished, but because just when you thought everything was over, you realise it's not, and leaves an excellent gateway to the sequel (which I haven't seen yet). I didn't think it was as good as the Scream movies, but it definitely had me on the edge of my seat.
