Seriously don't understand why this film needed a sequel. The film barely resembles the first film and undermines it at every angle.

The music is non necessary and tacked on. Gaga proves that she actually can't act. The plot could have been 30 minutes worth of a DVD extra.

Harvey Dent felt like a High School drama club member. The message, at the end of this overly dark and nihilistic adaptation of a beloved comic franchise, seemed all for naught.

It seems that the director wanted to say something but didn't know how. I think he should have said it in a different film and left us with the Joker that won an Oscar and won over audiences.

Who is this film for? The answer is Kenneth.

It's just a by the numbers whodunnit with a wonderful location. The entire cast looks feels like a hodgepodge of talent and talent less. There are soap opera level performances from several of the main characters. The acting only magnifies the previous films casting.

The central plot is all over the place. Is it trying to tell us to believe or is it saying belief is hopeless. Honestly, you could land on either side.

The actual setting is beautifully shot. Venice is a big character in the film. However it feels more like an excuse for the cast to be on vacation than a reason for a true murder mystery.

Terrible plot, bad camera work (especially since the main character is a cameraman), bad lighting. I felt like I was looking through a glory hole for 90 minutes.

This is what happens when someone tells you that you just need to get out there and shoot a film. You don't need money, actors, script, fx, or any of the other trapping that make up a films closing credits. Just run around, throw gallons of syrup on your feet, throw in an occasional wiener/boob visual (you know for those edgy scenes to make it legit adult horror) and presto; some people will show up.

The best part of this film was probably some of the sounds. Too bad film is a visual medium.
