Urban Legends Final Cut

not that much in my opinion.many people have given it a low rating,but i'm gonna buck the trend on this one.the only thing i can think of that might give this movie a lower rating than otherwise,is that the characters seem shallow and weaker written than the previous Urban Legend movie. i felt that at first.but somewhere along the line that feeling disappears.so maybe the characters change subtly yet in a short period of time.to me,this is a sign of good writing.the movie is not as original as its predecessor,but it is still compelling and engaging.besides,what looks like borrowing form other movies,to me,is an homage to those movie,a sort of nod of respect.and there is no blatant copying that i could see.i also think the movie is maybe a bit more creepy and eerie that the first one.like the first one,it is also unpredictable,with a slew of suspicious characters who all have compelling motives to be the killer.i didn't know for sure who the killer was.the only time you could eliminate a suspect is when they have been killed.i really enjoyed this movie.for me "Urban Legends:Final Cut" is a 4.65/5

this 1 was nowhere close to being as good and original than the original. it barely even uses any legends what so ever to kill someone. not scary not even funny. not a good example of a slasher film. hell i wouldnt even call it that. its more of a pathedic mystery rather than horror. the only thing thats good about this is the killers costume is cool and hot eva mendez is a lesbian in this. to bad she dies. hell shes not the only one. this whole movie looks as if it was picked up as road kill and then got some cheap thrills added into it. in my opinion it made it even worse. completely flat and dead.

Urban Legends 2 takes place at a film school in which people are being murdered. This film fails on many levels. First, the thing that made the first film unique (having people die according to urban legends) doesn't happen that often in the film. It's done a couple of times but then the film just resorts to standard slasher movie attacks. Second, there are weak plot points that pop up from the unbelievable "twin" of a suicide victim and the fact that no one seems to want to track down people who have vanished. (For example, the heroine sees someone being murdered on a surveillance camera but looses the video tape evidence after being pursued by the killer. One would think that the campus security guard after having lived through some murders before would at least try to track down the person supposedly killed or investigate the scene of the alleged crime. She doesn't do either. She doesn't even deem it necessary to call the police to investigate the heroine's claim of being chased.) There's no way to guess who the killer is since there are no clues dropped along the way. About the only perk is at the very end of the film which I won't reveal, but it hardly makes up for the previous 86 minutes

If you like urban legends or a fairly good horror film, get the first Urban Legends movie and leave this one alone.
