better than the first

well where do i start, well let's see, it's a lot easier to understand the the first one.. i thought it was much more interesting, i guess sam raimi brought something extra to the table as co-producer on this one. the plot lines are a little different for this film, th is time there are no less than 3 different plot lines going at the same time,, but that's okay, because i was able to follow them all, unlike the first film where it was so hard to understand it,, i guess they must have americanized this film, to make it more user friendly,, t his movie had just the right amount of tension,,s cares surprises, and just at the right times too, there was a hell of an opening scene , and much more seeing of the ghost too,, scarier this time i might add also. and they also did a better job of explaining how the ghost got it origins. i thought sara michelle gellar had a good part in this film , not too big just right, this is the first film of 20 that i have rated , that i give this one a PERFECT 10. THANKS TO EVERYONE ON THIS FILM, for making my filmwatching experience a perfect one.
