Biggest movie letdown???

After you watched the first paranormal why bother with the second? I am glad I watched the first one online for free and ended up fast forwarding through most of it to see if anything ever happened worth watching, which it didn't.

I don't care if the 1st is a let down of any series. When they build up hype, I just want to see it, to see what the hype is built around.
I'll give Paranormal Activity 2 some credit, it has one of the single best jump scenes in ANY movie EVER. On a big screen, it would have floored the biggest "non-scare" person.
However, they were both trying to be "Blair Witch" and they couldn't. That will always be the ground breaking film for the first person genre.

That movie was great from the special effects, the plot, and all-around aspects of it. It's filmed in a documentary/mockumentary style, not some news broadcast for starters. And has some deep undertones dealing with racism and xenophobia, it was great, glad to own it. Looks like you went in there expecting something different and didn't get it, then you declare it sucks.

No I got it.. I completely go it... and it sucked. One of the worst movies ever. If the plot and all this is SOOO great about this movie, what about the Alien just NOT take the vial with him? Because of a ****ty Plot! The "Mocumentary" you call is only becuase the movie had such a low budget. I said lots of people like this movie, im glad you do. Lots of people like crappy movies, and this is one. Sorry your favorite movie EVER is a pile of Rat vomit to me, thats my opinion and no "Racial Undertones" you feel this pile of Roadkill had in it... it was just nothing special, and really daft. I didnt' see paranormal activity cause everyone said it was boring and stupid till the last 3 or 4 minutes.. but I imagine that movie being much more exciting than District 9 If you feel like sitting and watching nothing really happen no real story driven events push an almost 2 hour movie along than I recommend District 9 to you.

Didn't suck, but I don't think you have to look into it that much. If memory serves me correctly, it originated from the idea for the Halo movie. They pulled the plug and came up with that.

Dude the movie is based on(well racism factors) that took place in District Six - Cape Town, South Africa during the apartheid. Of course it uses aliens, but it's based on that same story of moving them into camps and racism/xenophobia.

Why didn't they go ahead and say this is a propoganda film and not really for entertainment? Just like Avatar that even Cameron admitted was a propoganda piece.

Just because there's a more serious moral to the story means it's propaganda? Wow, it just means it's a little deeper than just a sci-fi flick about aliens, a lot of movies have that and have a deeper meaning, a lot of people just either aren't smart enough to get it or take it for face value and don't look.
