Herbert-5

To anyone who thought this movie was stupid and tasteless, I just have one thing to say, this is Norm MacDonald we're talikng about here, what did you expect? This film is hilarious if you're a fan of MacDonald's, if you're not, don't expect Oscar material. It's too bad some people take this kinda movie seriously, the whole thing is just one huge joke, and I think that you go out and see this one with that frame of mind, you'll enjoy a lot more. I'm a big fan of Sandler, Farley, Spade, Myers, all those SNL guys, so I thought this movie was good in its own sick twisted way.

A lot of people disagreed with me on this, but I think this film was better than the original. The characters were more drawn out and the killers were a lot more creative. I'm not a huge fan of horror movies so when I saw the first film I was disappointed because I heard it was so good (I think a lot of that came from Barrymore fans) and I found out that it rather sounded cool with horror movie references and supposedly savvy and witty dialogue exchanged by the most annoying teenagers I've ever seen in a film and display blood and, literally, guts all over the screen. I didn't find it original, I found it to be full of itself. I went to see the sequel and thought that it was a little more thought out than its predecessor. I was actually shocked to find out who the killer was at the end. And, another thing, I thought it, at least, tried to be different from #1. After seeing 2 or 3 of the Jason movies, I realized, you've seen one episode of the series, you've seen them all. Now, I went to see this on my own free will, and I was glad I did. Now, I just wish this wasn't the sequel but the first in the series and that Scream 1 was never made.

I truly feel that this was the best adaptation of one of John Grisham's books. It was funny, sad and had endearing characters, the only bad thing to it was that it was very slow-paced, but what can you expect from Coppola. Damon and DeVito are a perfect team fighting against that corrupt agency, and Jon Voight was very easy to dislike. I found myself rooting for the heroes although I already knew how it was going to end. I could've done without the subplot about the scorned wife (Claire Danes), though. But the film as a whole was truly something special.
