Heh, I had to explain fridging to my dad afterwards. I felt like before the movie was cast, maybe they weren't intending to make NR's character a big part of the marketing/movie in general but then they used basically her only major scene in the trailer because SHE IS SO HOT RIGHT NOW, I HEAR, PEOPLE LIKE HER, RIGHT, THAT WILL GET THEM PUMPED never mind that the writing just fell asleep any time she was around. It drove me nuts because it was like quick, get these damn women out of the way, we can't have the slasher squee interrupted. I actually felt like I was watching a poorly thought out fanfic on screen, particularly because wtf with that pathetic excuse for a plot. I mean, to the point where I seriously started to wonder if Guy Ritchie and the writers weren't involved in the fandom, or aware of fandom to some degree.

The sad thing is, after all that, I don't think it was even that bad- I enjoyed one or two scenes, and might have enjoyed more if I hadn't gotten a headache halfway through that was entirely unrelated to the movie- I just felt like my popcorn was spoiled by the crap with Irene and I never fully got onboard after I realized they were flat out fridging. Or at least, I didn't think it was that bad until I started really thinking about the differences between the movies.

You pretty much just explained my experience completely! I feel so vindicated because my brother has been treating me like a wet blanket, because normally I'm all up for defending less than stellar sequels with him.

Until her death was confirmed, I was just distracted thinking, "The writers wouldn't be that carelessly ignorant would they?" until it was revealed in an almost perfect example of the cliche outside throwing the body in the man's face. I liked a couple of humorous scenes and the whole, "Oh! Waterfall! I recognize that!" but otherwise it put a damper on my enjoyment. I figured I'd just need to wait a while to see it again to enjoy it without "Seriously. Did that really happen?" popping into my head every five minutes.

But then the whole "They didn't use the device from the last film" was pointed out to me online and suddenly I thought of all these other flaws became apparent that I didn't see before (like was there even a mystery? In the Sherlock Holmes film?). So when I sat down and thought about it, the whole thing kinda fell apart. I'm sure it'll just get worse when I can sit down and watch the first one too.

So basically, thanks for saying this because I was just going crazy whenever I had to talk about this movie. Because no one I know sees it!
