It doesn't capture the creepy atmosphere of the original, although some of the jump scares did get me. Overall though, very ordinary.

Silver Linings Playbook has a top-notch soundtrack, a stellar cast, and a pretty solid story. For a film that deals with such a difficult subject, I left with a smile on my face.

Quite simply, one of the best fantasy films I've ever seen. It takes my breath away every time I watch it.

The best for me after the first one - it's guns and explosions and Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson swearing like there's no tomorrow. One liners and Jeremy Irons as the baddie and Simon Says and mindgames and lots of blood and running. It's a hell of a fun action film!
