**For some reason this had a sequel and I'm grateful for it** I thoroughly enjoyed this sequel, so I wouldn't call it a mistake. I'm even super excited for the idea of a third installment, but I do have to admit that the idea of explaining the loop could largely ruin the magic of the original. However, I can at least appreciate that they tried to provide a good explanation, embracing a thoroughly enjoyable sci-fi style. The genre mix remains amusing (although is true that the horror part is less than the last time), the cast is wonderful, although Jessica Rothe continues to be the star; here, she delivers an equally funny but more emotional performance than in the previous film. I particularly appreciate how unpredictable the sequel is. While you could say it's the same movie, predicting what will happen next is exponentially more difficult. The best part, without a doubt, is Tree's dilemma within the film, as in my opinion, it's the main distinguishing feature or what ultimately makes this film feel fresh. But what I enjoy most is how faithful it is to the original. All the details are the same, and I love seeing the entire cast return. That certainly demonstrates the care with which this sequel was made. Paramore's soundtrack in a montage of deaths was also a great success!

**This was lowkey iconic** Of those films that my past self would have hated but that my current self might actually enjoy, I didn't have a blast, but it has enough personality and silliness to keep me from hating it. It has that iconic personality in its dialogue and characters, and I feel that's why many people (including me) might like this film; but the reality is that it takes itself way too seriously, which makes it the viewer's job not to take it seriously. So, if it were a more self-aware film that embraced its silliness, it would be infinitely better. I liked the opening credits with their single-shot sequence, which is odd since the camerawork is the worst part of the film; although the overall look, with its granite style, is generally good. And well, superficial characters, generally predictable as hell but some good kills are also added into the mix.
