I saw several negative comments here on IMDB and thought this movie would be one of those horror movies that was a real turkey.
Fortunately, I took a chance Jeepers Creepers II anyway, and surprise, surprise, it was better than the majority thought.
************Mild Spoilers Ahead***************************************
I'll grant you, it's a formula teen horror movie, but it doesn't have all the plot holes in it that people complained about. All the stuff about the kids getting out of the bus, the unlikeable characters, blah blah blah ad nauseum were overblown. I found it much more entertaining than any of the Scream movies or the I Know What You Did Last Summer series.
I liked the comment about it being a bit of a throwback to some of the old creature movies. I thought the Creeper was great and he scared me throughout the film. I'll take the man in the Creeper Suit over many of today's cheesey and usually boring CGI effects. The person who played the creature did a great job and I loved the special effects in this move. This probably isn't a classic movie, but I can truthfully say I enjoyed the special effects in it more than those in The Matrix, Spiderman with Tobey McGuire and the second X-Men movie, which were all about as exciting as watching paint dry. CGI has to blend seamlessly and realistically into a move to make it work, and CGI just for CGI's sake doesn't impress movie lovers, just CGI freaks.
I liked Jeepers Creepers II. It was a fun horror flick to see at the theater. Sure, it could have used a bit more character development, but that's my only gripe. I rate it 7/10. If you like teen horror flicks, I think you'll enjoy it.
