Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated Ruin of Stars in Books
Aug 26, 2018
I was incredibly excited to read this sequel after being pleasantly surprised by Mask of Shadows. This could easily, and probably should, have been a trilogy. It feels like there was so much packed into this book that nothing really went into detail, even despite its 400 pages. While there was still a good bit of action it was mostly introspection and lamenting the past. The ending was a bit underwhelming and I really expected more. Overall, it is a solid, if a bit lackluster, sequel to a fantastic book.

Comic fantasy that reminded me slightly of the great Terry Pratchett (writen in that vein), but not quite as good as his.
Set in an alternative medieval period, in the reign of Uther Pendragon (who is one of the characters in the book): in this case, Uther (and not Arthur) is the 'Once and Future King'. Unfortunately, the book also states that the author is working on a sequel: if he did, I never saw any sign of it in any of the bookshops, with the ending of this book leaving plenty (too much?) open to be included in that sequel.

Very funny sequel
Contains spoilers, click to show
So after years of waiting for a sequel to the brilliant original and this year we finally got it and it just about surpasses the original.
All the original stars are back along with new and very funny character madison (played by zoey deutch) who is dumber than a box of frogs.The plot itself is very basic but that doesnt matter because the film runs on all the jokes.Hopefully there wont be such a long wait for a third film.
Oh and there is another hilarious appearance by bill murray this time during the main credits.

Gore
Watched today as a sequel to the orignal candyman its probably better than the previous sequels which I've never and probably won't cause I hear they aren't as good. Anyway to the movie itself it has plenty of gore so that ticked that box and one scene stood out for me group of college girls make the mistake of saying his name five times big mistake good acting performances from both the leads. There's some photography especially of Chicago which stand out for me. Overall good sequel which is worthy follow up to the orignal

An even lower budget sequel to the cult original. Very poor acting and dialogue but the worst part is the ropey CGI effects! If you like cheesey B movie horrors that turn out to be quite funny you might enjoy this, similar to Frankenfish, Crocodile.

A pretty decent if predictable action film. It works ok as a sequel although I don't think there are any character connections? Just the same style of plot but brought up to date. Some pretty good choreographed fight scenes make this slightly above average.
