Interesting when a huge writer also becomes one of the most prolific "screenwriters" too. I definitely had my problems with the first one, but felt the battle sequences were among the most heart-pumping I had seen in a long time.

Still undecided on whether Ill run to the theater for this one, guess it depends on my mood once its out.

The final trailer

Anybody else seen this yet? For me, it was a lot of great performances in a film that really is just a rehash of all the scares in the first, and due to the bloated runtime becomes repetitive very quickly, could have shaved a half hour off easily. I did enjoy Hader and Chastain in particular though.

A lot of reviews echo your sentiment - overly long, a series of jump scares etc. I don't think I'll be running out to see this one.
