Did anyone see this yet? I'm going to a matinee in about 2 hours because I really enjoyed the first one. It was truly sadistic--- something Hollywood, in all its cliched patheticness, never does. Plus the story was unique and really made you think.

The only problems is none of my friends want to see it, so I'll be going alone

Heh going to see this one today aswell.

I've read it's virtually the exact same thing as the first, but I hadn't seen the first so it doesn't matter.

Saw it today, very good. It went a little slow in the middle, but then as ever the twist at the end was fantastic.

I also loved the opening 5 minutes, the writer(s) seriously must be close to being serial killers themselves.

If your old enough and like a little gore, go and see it

i cant wait to see the new one

I'm here to do homework, and kick ass.....

No, I am planning to go.

I will be going to The Rocky Horror Picture Show first, just to see all of the people dress up like the charters and act out lines and to through rise.

Just got back from it. It was great---- excellent It isn't like the first one, in that this one has more character development. And it was just a little Wes Craven-- not too much so, but still enough to make you roll your eyes.

As a whole, it was well worth the $5 matinee price.

Just got back from it, saw a prime time showing (6:30). I liked it alot, though even better than the movie was the people in the full theater. A guy about 2 rows ahead of me tossed it during the "door" scene. And the women were screaming and squeeming. By the end of the movie the place was half empty, way too much for some people to handle.

Ghetto.. hehehe.... the 2 theatres in my town (Abbotsford) play matinees on the weekend for just $5. Regular admission is $8. At the large SilverCity theatres the price is anywhere from $7.50-$13.00. I'm too cheap to pay high prices so I just see the matinee's

Wow! The dollar's really rising. It's predicted to top the US dollar soon.

Hehehe I usually just get an Americano, which is oddly the same price as if I were to buy it at, say, Starbucks. The theatres here haven't figured out that they can raise the prices of their coffee

Just finished sawing it today. It was a fairly decent movie, with a couple of nice little twists.

I couldnt stop covering my face in the intro sequence though :p

The ending just didnt do it for me though, i didnt like it at all.
