We differ in opinions.
I think JC was good in that it actually went against the grain for a horror film at the time, and my god....the bad guy wasn't actually some stupid-ass angsty psyched out teenager, wronged/thought to be dead asshole, or one of the many friends or relatives around either of those two.
I agree however, that the first half was a little more tense...in fact, if you'd missed a few minutes, you might be convinced they were two different films...with, uh....the same cast, well, you get me.
The cop car scene was badass, the creeper walking the "cat woman" out by the back of her neck was fucked up...hmmm, the cop station under assault was ok, and getting to see creeper hit several times with a car was...well, funny as fuck.
I am in the middle about how it ended, it was interesting and all, but when the credits rolled, I was like "wtf?!?".
I pretty much enjoyed it the whole way through myself, but each to their own, my opinion doesn't invalidate yours...
That said, I thought JC2 felt like a cheap-ass knock off, the character seemed much less menacing, sure, he could grow himself back, and had more weapons, but...there was something lost along the way - maybe it was the mystery of what he was during the first one that made it scary, I dunno...
As for roadkill, as fun as prank calls are...I just thought this one straight up sucked. Nothin' good to say, so I'll leave it at that.
