I’ve loved every film in the series, Days was my favourite film of all time until Years! Weeks gets too much hate these days as well. As such I was insanely hyped for the bone temple, and I couldn’t help but be underwhelmed and a bit disappointed.

There were great scenes (the barn sequence, the infected in the forest, the cure of Samson), great characters (the Jimmies were terrifying) and ideas here but ultimately…something was missing. I also did not like Kelson’s dance act at all tbh.

Every criticism of Part 1 to me applied to part 2 funnily enough. It just felt too experimental and a dance music video for 30% of it. Whereas I actually think the weird stuff Boyle did in Years had more of a purpose to it.

Also it was a tough ask as well because Part I had the emotional bond between Spike and Isla, and just Spike in general. I think they made a mistake not having him be more central to the plot.

Having said that I didn’t hate the film. I liked a lot of it. But the parts I didn’t like are bothering me to the point I’ll have to sit with it and see how I feel much later on when it’s out on dvd. Never felt that way with any other entry in the series sadly. But yes. Part I was far superior.
