My daughters loved the first one and were so excited to see this one. It was a fantastic movie! From start to finish there wasn't a dull moment. It certainly didn't feel like a 2 1/2 hr movie. My 6yr old kept leaning over to me and saying how much she loved this movie. My 11yr old loved it too. I liked how the killing was not shown, it was always just off the screen, so that was good. Fantastic movie that I would highly recommend and would go see it again!
