Saw parts 1 and 2 together and it was great. Part 2 builds on Part 1, but really adds to the action and suspense. Great job bringing excellent books to the screen. Lots of good special effects, lots of suspense and scary moments, even if you've read the books 5 or 6 times.
The 3-D effects were amazing, the story was good, the stop motion was fun -- all together an excellent night out. I took my grandchildren and we all enjoyed it very much.
