Liked it very much. It was better and more mature than House... for sure.
The dialogue was truly entertaining. The entire flick is full of witty remarks and jokes or twisted and effective monologues or off-the-wall expressions and well-crafted conversation that draws out character's so well. I can imagine getting that DVD and it becoming a quotefest that never grows old. Rob Zombie must be quite interesting as a personality to be able to come up with stuff like that and so much of it. I would go as far as comparing it to Tarantino's dialogue -- comparable wordy wit.
But it's not only the dialogue. The way it was shot did not have that amateurish feel to it that its predecessor had. The scene compositions were well thought out with real quality imagery. There's some imagery that really sticks in ones head. Good stuff. The special effects were also very good. The gore was well-done and did make you uncomfortable at times, like the road kill part and whatever lead up to it. Fantastic!
It is worth it, if you haven't already, to sit through the first one so you can see this one. It is not disappointing. It is not your typical Hollywood movie. It is a surprise because it doesn't feel like a movie made by the singer of a metal band who wanted to use his musical success to fund other useless self-indulgent projects. I enjoyed the first one because of its ridiculousness. This is different. It's not cinematic genius but it's quite good.

2046 is the same characters from In the Mood for Love but in the future?
My most anticipated films are that as well as Broken Flowers, A History of Violence, The Constant Gardener, Art School Confidential, and The Corpse Bride. I'm sure there are more, but I'm looking forward to those.

I'm not interested in The Constant Gardner and I don't like Zwigoff. But I'm also excited for the others, along with Where the Truth Lies, The Brand Upon the Brain!, and The Brother's Grimm.

Originally posted by Stark EvadeI was hoping that it would just get some recognition by neither that nor History of Violence did.
It is a very good movie for sure but I am tempted to say that Almodovar's film
was better. I don't know the others that were in the competition.
