The Jester 2 - User Reviews

It starts off feeling like a step up from the first movie with some inventive kills and the Jester is more entertaining than ever, but by the end it pretty much ends up on the same level because of questionable story direction. I mean it's already an improvement that there's a story because the first didn't really have any. The new main character kinda stalls the Jester on his Halloween night and I really don't like what they did with her in the third act. Her motivations and decision making made no sense, pick a lane girl. The Jester is kinda like Art the Clown meets the Djinn in *Wishmaster* with all his tricks, and the tricks here are way better and bloodier than the first. The card kill is the best. I hate it when he kills without doing a trick though, ruins the fun. His appearance gets an upgrade with the mask, hair and dirty suit... I was dying to see what was underneath that mask. It's nice that we learn about his origins, I liked everything about that and the mechanics of his magic. Weird twist at the end that leaves the franchise in a weird spot.
