Review of Happy Death Day 2U (2019) by Karmazyn83 — 06 May 2019

This movie started so well, it was so promising and suddenly it turn from light slasher movie into comedy/teenage drama/slasher movie. This transition changed the movie's dynamic. First - something brave,original and funny turn into boring, confusing, multiverse time-travel movie.

Why, oh why they ruined their own franchise. Out of all possible scenarios they chose to run with the time-machine plot line interjected with family/boyfriend drama which just dragged for far too long.

This was so unnecessary, so forced onto the viewer. Movie itself was a collection of sometimes idiotic deaths and the feeling of dread and mystery totally evaporated from the movie. I was really hoping for the better, bigger, bolder sequel and I got light s-f comedy instead.

I know that the first movie had this funny vibe but it was leaning more towards slasher than comedy and here the scales tipped more on the comedy side. I watched it all but am disappointed with wasted potential.
