I liked the ending it was downright apocalyptic in the sense that every single person in that audience including her mother was now cursed. It will just spread from there. I think that was the whole point The Entity did what it had to do to take over somebody that it could spread to a huge amount of people.
The ending in isolation was ok , but considering how the premise especially skye being a pop star made it very predictable and disappointing. There was a similarity with the movie Truth or dare where they also use the smile thing and had the same ending. So a lot of people including myself were thinking please don’t do the truth or dare ending. Or please don’t do the obvious ending because of the pop star premise.
Smile 1 felt like there was real struggle between protagonist and demon where she could win. Smile 2 just felt kinda like one big house of mirrors with a defenseless pathetic protagonist.
SPOILERS BELOW. Erik , Some explanation. 9:28 , so I rewatched the first movie and a timeline of 7 days is established of when you first get the smile demon . Within those 7 days the demon could potentially take over completely. It could be on the 3rd day or the 7th day which would be Sunday. Also that character that was trying to help her in the bar states something like 3 day timeline which the thing would take over. It could be the demon just stating the rules out to everyone or just apart of the hallucination . But it seems to be placed there intentionally to add to the lore and rules. It was a lot of the third act that was set up by the supposed “hallucinations”. They also could’ve been playing into the “trauma” and specifically the trauma and substance abuse skye went through with the crash and the drugs so maybe they thought leaning more into that could’ve led to situations that were either real or hallucinations but also worse because of the smile demon. So it’s a bunch of mis direction but it should’ve been explained a lot more than what we got. Rewatching the first smile helps to understand this second movie more.
This was faster paced with a bigger scale similarly to aliens and t2 were the faster paced and the bigger scale sequels. Smile 1 was the slower paced smaller scale while smile 2 was faster paced , in your face bigger scale. Only issue was the ending of smile 2 was predictable
I dont think it was like Aliens or T2. In those movies we learned more about the Aliens and the company/the terminator and the war with the machines. We didn't really learn anything in Smile 2 that we didn't already know know in Smile 1 and the ending was kinda predictable, I saw that ending coming as soon as I saw the first trailer.
@@kityhawk2000 I’m talking about the pace and scale of the films not what we learn . Smile 1 = slower pace , smaller scale like Alien or T1 Smile 2 = Faster paced bigger scale like T2 and Aliens.
I disagree with a lot of the movie reviewers on TH-cam all the time. Heck I saw all the reviews of joker 2 being a piece of crap walked into it and what I watched was actually pretty good and made sense.
Also , there was a lot more comedic and funny moments in smile 2 compared with the first one . Felt like they leaned more into that compared to the more serious tone in the first one

She wasn't defenseless and pathetic she was incredibly strong to keep going through everything that was happening to her

The ending didn’t really ruin the movie for me but it was just disappointing because it was very predictable.
Agreed

Ending is so overused. They did that with the Ring before
