For starters it was paced a lot better than the first one and didn't have a giant backstory taking up a giant swath of the runtime.

Now I'm curious if you either grew on Scrooge 2 or worn down on PoE

@Rorschach

 

As the winner of the guessing game you win an exclusive pre-read of an upcoming Year 4 film that will be in production. You can choose from one of the following films:

 

 

The Last Policeman

 

A Cary Fukunaga Film

 

Spoiler

Six months before a four-mile wide asteroid is set to impact Earth, society is crumbling in the face of the inevitable. In the midst of the growing anarchy, one of the few remaining detectives of the Concord Police Department is determined to solve a mysterious death, even as the city around him stops caring about quaint things such as murder.

 

 

24 Hours

 

A Taylor Sheridan Film

 

Spoiler

After catching a protege of one of the most powerful kingpins of Chicago fleeing across the border, a dogged FBI agent has 24 hours to convince him to turn informant before he is shuttled into the criminal justice system and the waiting hands of his employer's men. As the clock ticks down, both players reflect back on the path that led them to this crossroads.

 

 

Fortnight

 

A Steven Spielberg Film

 

Spoiler

December 1776. The American Revolution is on the brink of collapse, as a series of successive, devastating defeats have left the Continental Army on the brink of disintegration. With only a fraction of his original force remaining, enlistments for many of the rest expiring in mere days, and a determined British force on the march, George Washington sets in motion a daring scheme that will either reinvigorate the fight for freedom, or snuff out the light of liberty for good.

Last question I have about Odyssey 2:

 

What did you think of Telemachus and Laertes in the film?

Silent Hill was overplotted and overstuffed. I was very generous to it since it wasn't quite as overplotted and drawn out as Amityville.

 

It is interesting to see some people criticize some films for certain sins and give other, similar films a pass for the same "issues"

It's a fair criticism, I was worried about that myself. A lot of the time it's not even so much about the actual amount of plot as it is the flow of it, and that was personally my main issue with BioShock and Call of Duty (and judging from the way he phrased his review, @Ethan Hunt's issue with BioShock as well). The way the content is structured and presented is often as important as the actual amount of plot/characters/settings/etc. And the Band Played On was absolutely massive in terms of content and plotlines and characters and everybody loved it.

Thank you for 17 and 22.
