Child's Play 2

Chucky, la poupée de sang est une suite routinière qui, certes, se laisse voir, mais qui ne captive pas pour autant. Le fond de l’intrigue est à peu près le même que dans l’original (encore une fois, presque jusqu’à la fin du film, personne ne croit le petit garçon) et ça se prend toujours aussi au sérieux. Par contre, le final dans la fabrique de poupées est assez balèze et, alourdi de l’ennuyeuse heure précédente, parvient à se hisser légèrement au-dessus de la moyenne. (25/04/2019)

While the first installment of Child's Play was a suspenseful horror film that managed to evoke genuinely uncomfortable feelings, for me, the second film represents the exact fulfillment of the clichéd adage that sequels are always worse. I'm in fact often on the other side of the spectrum and I consider certain series to be compact or, adversely, I often see the first parts as a stepping stone for increasing quality. The basic attributes of Child's Play 2 were at least decent, Alex Vincent returned, Christine Elise became his ideal partner and Greg Germann played a sympathetic role at the beginning. The development of the basic idea from last time (Chucky is still chasing Andy and doesn't have much time) proved to be workable, but the solution to the foster care storyline without the minimal interaction of Andy's mother's life lacks logic. And logic is also lacking in many other scenes, whether it's just small details (the murder with the ruler? WTF?) or the entire final scene in the warehouse, as if it was only prepared for the subsequent rampage of Robin Williams in Toys (1992). There is some suspense, there are no surprises, and the resulting script slips into pure B-grade. That’s too bad. I hope the planned remake of the first film will go a different way. (23/12/2010)

Not quite the disaster I was expecting after the brilliant first part. Of course, it doesn't have that sinister atmosphere anymore, but it can still be entertaining. I don't know if it seemed to me or if it was really like that, but the little main hero played significantly worse than in the first one. The story was fine though, and I also liked the final scene in the factory. I wouldn't give it less than three. (13/09/2014)

Child's Play 2 manages to reasonably expand on the storyline from the first film, but only through unnecessary stretching that doesn't have a significant impact. And even though it seems like the end in the final moments, the third installment didn't take long to follow, and Don Mancini continues to nurture his creation - essentially his sole contribution to the horror genre, and indeed to cinema as a whole. That's what you call a life's work. (27/03/2014)

As if it wasn’t enough that the adults are not helping little Andy with his post-traumatic stress disorder, Uncle Chucky is gearing up for an unannounced visit. This thrash movie deserves praise only for the facial expressions of the polyvinyl chloride killer from the toy store and its tolerable length. The Terminator-like finale in the factory adds a bit of excitement, especially with a character named Kyle involved, but it's nothing particularly thrilling when you know what’s coming next. And Chucky doesn’t even need to say, "I'll be back..." (19/09/2023)
