The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death (2015)

If you're gonna put the name of a character in the title, it'd be nice if that character was actually in the movie. I'm still not completely sure if this was actually meant to be a sequel to 2012's The Woman in Black, or if the producers just tacked "The Woman in Black 2" in front of the original title to make a quick buck. Nevertheless, I'll still treat this film as a sequel, as it does contain the house from the original movie. Angel of Death takes place 40 years after The Woman in Black and is about a woman who starts an orphanage inside the notorious Eel Marsh House, which is said to be haunted by a ghost. If anything, Angel of Death feels like the second act of the original movie, in which Arthur Kipps is lurking around the creepy old house, stretched to 98 minutes. Even scares that were very unsettling and scary in The Woman in Black are reused in the sequel to a much less powerful effect. While there were a few admittedly creepy scenes, they were ruined by unnecessary jump scares. I'd also like to point out that the woman in black never appears in the movie until the last 15 minutes, and she only makes 3 or 4 appearances as cheap jump shocks. I was hoping that at least the time period in which the movie takes place could possibly save this from being a total disaster since it takes place during World War II. It's the perfect opportunity to tell a compelling story about the tragedies of war while also being an effective ghost story, but the war themes are dropped within the first ten minutes. I think the most shocking thing about Angel of Death is the fact that it's a ghost story that lacks both a ghost and a story. If you're looking for a good, moody, atmospheric haunted house movie, then I suggest 2012's The Woman in Black. Skip Angel of Death.

4/10

300: Rise of an Empire
(it has enough gore to classify as a horror so i'm throwing this here)
I am... disappointed. 300 is one of my favorite films, so I was rather excited to see it's sequel. And although it started strong with a fantastic lead character, it quickly lost strength and just had a weak ending. When the first ended so dramatically and bled so much emotion, I don't know how I was expecting this one to end, but it just doesn't compare.

The first thing to really lose me was... WHY was the army of Athens so far away from the city when it was destroyed? Isn't the point of having an army force to PREVENT THAT? I mean what are you fighting for when its people and city no longer exist? Somewhere along the way I got lost at that plot point.

All the best battles are in the beginning or middle (i had to pause a few times so i'm not sure where i saw what), with not much of a climatic battle finish. Just when it seems like it's going to get the most interesting, that's when the credits roll. So much for seeing the queen taking her revenge and killing the brat king. At least she made it to the show.

I found that after watching the Spartacus series, movies like this just don't do it for me anymore.
Unless they got a solid script but that's a rare thing.

(btw, I think you can post anything here as long as it's not porn)

Speaking of porn, isn't the next step after the Spartacus series to move onto hard core porn? ;)
