The boy part 2 is the worst sequel that has ever been made to a movie?
Gimly2020-07-26
I know The Boy is not well-liked, but I honestly kind of enjoyed it. Let me clear, I didn't love it. I didn't think it was great. But there was some stuff I liked, and overall I thought that people were maybe a little too harsh on it. Well Brahms ruins everything about The Boy that I felt was worth defending. I had about three nice things that I thought could be said of The Boy, and Brahms not only doesn't have those same things (Remember me saying that the first one has a cast capable of pulling off the premise? Well this one sure doesn't) but also actively works to undo the things that I felt made The Boy any good at all. Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.
