Disappointment

After a very interesting first movie that continously gave something to think about while watching the sequel is an uninteresting investigation story with boring student characters. This spoiled the shining of the first one. I was watching with great excitement expecting something to be formed but nothing did. And the endcredit scene was a very lame one. Such an uninteresting story. The first one is the one to watch. This one just skip.
