People appear to have it out for this movie. Either that or the producers of Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 have p***ed someone off so bad they've hired people to astroturf.

Seriously, this movie is not a 2.3/10 -- if you think it is, you clearly haven't seen enough movies to know what a 2.3/10 movie looks like.

This movie's more like a 5 or 6 out of 10, but I'm giving it a 10/10 to counter-balance all the haters.… Expand

The parts with Paul Blart being fat were the best. If I could give it a 15/10, I would. Better than the first with more finesse and comedic value. True cinematic masterpiece.

Blart 2 is black humor, which I like; I had a lot of laughs, and so did the people in my theater. Screw the professional critics; especially those that gave Birdman any stars. Why don't the people who gave this movie a bad review, go see Birdman; the critics loved it?… Expand

This was a lot better than I expected. A 13/100 is definitely too harsh. Kevin James was really good and I'd recommend it if you go for this sort of thing. Overall a fun movie.

This movie is probably the worst comedy ever. All the jokes were flat, and the movie was way too long. Very boring and stupid, and is almost the exact same thing as the original.

The movie was very silly, yet made us and the theatre laugh continuously. The young daughter has the best expressions as her father overcompensates in his mall cop role. The movie won't win any awards, but it is very entertaining.

I know the jokes were the same as the first, but Kevin James is still my favorite actors that Adam Sandler just created. Stop with the bulls**t and go see this movie.… Expand

The story is bland at points, especially the second time you watch it. The jokes are super funny and they have a lot of them. I see no reason why it didn't get ok reviews. It is for sure not as bad as they say.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Want to scream bloody murder? Then the new Halloween is the trick-or-treat frightfest for you. But, first, a leap of faith is required. You have to forget that there are already nine sequels and remakes of John Carpenter’s 1978 original — thankfully, director David Gordon Green and coscreenwriters Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley pretend those lame copies never existed (no loss there). To them, Halloween 2018 is the first sequel ever to Carpenter’s horror classic. It’s been 40 years since babysitter Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) got rocked by PTSD when the masked killer Michael Myers rampaged through the leafy streets of her hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois. And in the years since, the Final Girl has turned herself into Bloody Grandma, a rabid survivalist who’s booby-trapped her house and stayed rifle-ready until the day Michael — the essence of pure evil — breaks out of his loonybin and comes for her. That day is here. And, yup, it’s Halloween.

Just watching Curtis dig into the role of this former-babysitter-turned-hardcore-avenger will keep you on the edge of your seat. She’s a marvel of ferocity and feeling. Laurie knows that her Michael obsession has lost her custody of her now-adult daughter Karen (Judy Greer), trained in combat since childhood, and caused a rift with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak). But she’ll live with it if her family can be safe. Playing the naïve Laurie made Curtis a star at 19; now she brings a sense of loss, regret and separation to the role that deepens the character’s humanity without diminishing her resolve. It’s a savage roar of a performance that stays alert to nuance. And it fits in perfectly with Green’s concept of the film as a feminist parable in which three women come together to call #TimesUp on a male predator.

In other areas, the filmmaker must fight familiarity in a sometimes losing battle. Though he ups the violence quotient on Carpenter’s film, Green’s R-rated sequel comes after the torture-porn excess of the Saw and Hostel franchises that numbed us to gore. It also lacks the satiric bite of Get Out. This is a film made by Carpenter fans for other Carpenter fans. Green brought on the master, now 70, as advisor and to update his eerie synthesizer score with son Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies. The credits ape the original’s right down to the serif font, and cinematographer Michael Simmonds indulges in those long, suspenseful tracking shots that take Myers’ point of view. The first actor to play the horror-flick icon, Nick Castle, joins forces with James Jude Courtney, to embody the older but still death-fixated man-in-the-mask. And yes, that William Shatner/Star Trek mask painted white is very much present and accounted for. So what’s new? Not much according to the plot, which more or less follows the same trajectory as the original. The first Halloween‘s Dr. Loomis, played by the late Donald Pleasance, has been replaced by the equally obsessive Dr. Sartain (Haluk Bilginer). The shrink wants to know why Michael kills. For a with-it touch, two Brit podcasters (Rhian Rees and Jefferson Hall) have been added to the equation to retell the homicidal maniac’s story for the uninitiated. They are also around to provide fresh meat before Michael goes into slaughter mode on the babysitter beat.

All things end, as they must, with the Strode women taking on Michael in the woods. Halloween started as a slasher movie done with an inventive talent for the game by Carpenter. That Green’s sequel works as well as it does — it’s still a slasher movie — is due only in part to the director and his collaborators’ copycat admiration for Carpenter’s blueprint. Mostly it’s the troubled times we live in that allows this energizing, elemental horror film to touch a raw nerve for #MeToo. We watch a woman call a male monster to account for her own lasting trauma. That’s too real to laugh off as Hollywood make-believe. We’re living it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film is one of, if not the single greatest piece of cinema ever produced. The hard cuts, the beautifully symbolic dialogue, the awesome action, this movie simply has it all. Sure, you might come for the laughs, but you'll stay for the heart. The emotional roller coaster this movie takes you on is one that you'll be thinking about on your deathbed. The key note speech (spoiler) alone rivals anything President George W. Bush ever said. Paul Blart is the real deal. He has a huge heart and a selfless soul, not to mention a decent voice. What's next, saving lives in Africa? There simply is no ceiling for Paul Blart.… Expand
