Urban Legend: Awsome opening scene! this movie is clever, interesting and damn good. Urban Legends: Final Cut: Gory, detailed, amusing. I don't want this review to be long and boring so in three words Just Buy It!

Normally, everyone hates sequels. I'm one of these people who enjoy sequels, no matter what. I like the Terminator sequel and the Scream trilogy etc. Halfway through watching this, my friend phoned, and told me off for buying it when I could have borrowed it from him, but he said he preferred the sequel to the original. After watching this film right through, I had to disagree with him (sorry!) I got too confused with it too often, when they showed the relatively scary bits as the movie the students were filming. The ending totally confused me, as it made me think was it all real, or all a "movie". I couldn't identify the people, as they weren't well enough introduced, and when I was TRYING to persuade my friend to tell me who the killer was, and he said he was in Die Hard (great, unless you haven't seen Die Hard!). All the guys looked too similar, and I still don't know which one was the killer. And for any Neighbours fans - how much does Jennifer Morrison look like Michelle Scully?! Scary!
Overall ... Sorry, I preferred the original. The first few minutes reminded me of the start of Final Destination (with the plane and mainly, the oxygen masks coming down). Not a film would particularly want to watch again, although I probably would. The extras were pretty good, especially the gag reel!

"Urban Legend 1" I was surprised at the quality a "B" horror movie could have.As soon as I saw it was in the movies, I went. When the DVD came out, I was surprised at the quality and the behind-the-scenes-featurette. When "UL2:FINAL CUT" came out, I didn't bother to see it in the movies. When it came out on DVD I rented and the movie and extras were great such as deleted scenes,commentary,behind the scenes,gag reel,ect.ALL IN ALL, A PRETTY SOPHISTICATED ROMP WITH SLASHES, AND LAUGHS

Urban Legend 2 is the best film I've seen for a while.I'm a big fan of Slasher films and Scream 3 and Urban Legend 2 definatly take first slot.I just love it!And the ending was such a surprise!Roll on Urban Legend 3!!!

I love the first movie and how it has thrills around every corner! You'll love this movie too and you'll never guess who the killer is! The second movie is great to, but not as good as the first one. But this doesn't mean you shouldn't see it! Besides, the ending on the First movie will leave wanting to see the sequel right away! So, don't hesitate and as soon as you can afford it, GET IT!!!

i think this is a pretty good pack but its not really got much gore in fact its got less gore than a edward scissor hands movie its only worth buying for a birthday party when your having a sleepover and your staying up late other than that its better to rent it

What I didn't like about this movie is that all the murders weren't that good. It wasn't really scary and I already knew who the killer was from the very beggining. The thing I liked is the "disguise" of the killer. It was intresting. But what I also hated about the movie UL 2 is that they didn't continue with the characters like Natalie...

It takes a lot to go from being just bad to being painfully inept to the point where you contemplate suicide watching the multi-level banality. Urban Legends: Final Cut made that jump. I can't remember seeing something this poorly directed, acted, written, edited, and just about every other department, in a long while.

Why do all the students at the "best film school ever!" want to make horrible teenie slasher films? Did they sit in their basements dreaming of the day they too could create Scream? My God, the idealistic youth of America just wants to make fake blooded dreck! And why then, the chosen few of the best and brightest for the "best film school ever!" are so BAD at making movies? I'll give this, the girl does draw nice storyboards but then she should have gone to art school and not "the best film school ever!"

And everyone looks like they stepped off a magazine cover including the obligatory cute lesbian, sans Joey Lawerance. You should know trouble's afoot when a Lawerance makes his way into a movie. The acting is phenomenally bad with this cast of characters that are more inclined to be found on the back of a milk carton than deliver a good line or carry a joke well.

This movie just goes from bad to horrible the longer it goes. Yes yes, it's a slasher film you're supposed to have fun with. But what fun is it watching crap you and your friends could make better and funnier in your backyard with your dad's camcorder?

Okay. Let's look at this from two angles. As a MOVIE and as a DVD.

Well, the general feeling is correct. This was a terrible TERRIBLE movie. The budget was good -- and "Trevor" is hot enough to droooool over, but that's about all the movie is good for. Not only does it rip off the ideas responsible for SCREAM, but the camera work is lazy and the attack scenes are cheesy. I mean, SLOW MOTION tacky. What can you expect from a first time director. For those expecting a follow-up to the first part, don't hold your breath. Hollywood hasn't quite learned that sequels don't do well when you write a movie about something DIFFERENT and slap the same name on it.

That said, as a DVD I was disappointed. Though there are a LOT of deleted scenes and a boring blooper reel, the menu looks like it was whipped up by a child and.... I was THOROUGHLY ANGERED by the fact that a scene was missing altogether. After seeing UL2 in the theatres, I was ecstatic at a scene in which Reese (the security guard portrayed by Loretta Divine) is acting out a scene from COFFY as it plays on her monitors. I went out and bought all of PAM GRIER'S movies afterwards. And yet... WHERE IS THIS SCENE ON THE DVD??? It's gone. Wiped from existence.

If you're a faithful slasher/horror buff like me, you'll buy it. But it doesn't mean you have to like it.

these movies are pretty good. i can't wait for ul3 if they're going to make a third one. they obviously need to.
