After seeing the Hangover II, I thought it was not possible to laugh that much at a movie. From the beginning to the ending, there was not a sour moment of humor but to some, the Hangover II did not even compare to the first one. Yes, fans were excited to see Americas three best friends back in action; Stu, Phil, and Alan. Even though the new movie took place in Thailand instead of Las Vegas, it seems that they were basically the same. Although part II was very funny, it mimicked a lot of the first movies timeline… same jokes, same setup, and the same ending. It was expected to be a crazy hangover experience like the first one, but fans were expecting something different to look forward too. Part I created some of the most quotable movie moments in Hollywood history, such as the wolfpack speech and stealing a cop car. The second part did not have any of those moments, except for the ones that were mimicked to be like the ones in the first part.

It is hard to top an epic movie like the first part of the Hangover, but with a different story line it might of came close. In the Hangover I there was a lot of funny moments that just hit you and came out of no where. Part II, you knew those moments were coming because of having the same setup as the first one. In the second part, the movie was set up so that you knew that there would be something wrong with Stu’s face, someone would go missing, a weird animal would pop out of no where, and that they would all eventually live happily ever after.

But still the movie made over 30 million in box office sales on the first day, making it the second largest opening for an action comedy. Still, days after, the movie continued to sell out. Do not get me wrong, the movie was hysterical, but it defiantly could have been improved. The second part was designed to create another epic story, but from the looks of it, a year later, Hangover I still is better. Now, everyone is asking, will there be a third movie?  Movies, like Transformers, have had sequels that have blown viewers away. So, will there be a third hangover movie to make up for the second one? According to Warner Brothers, there will be a third movie with a completely different plot. The rumor is that part III will be Alan trying to escape from a mental ward. Even though there is no script set or dates to start, there are defiantly plans for a third one.

Producer Todd Phillips said that if there is a part III, the movie’s beginning and ending will be nothing like the hangovers before it. This will be a good change from Part II, which seemed to disappoint and let down fans. The wolfpack has become an American sensation and we know, even though the second one was not as great, there is still the three best friends that everyone can count on for a good laugh. In the long run here are not many sequels hat ever have topped the first initial movie so if you havent seen the Hangover I or II go out and see it and decide for yourself.

Did you love “The Hagover Part II?” Or were you completely disappointed to the max?

It looks like critics are bashing the film, saying it’s complete garbage- while others are saying it’s definitely worthy. It’s getting some high grades, plus it made $135 million in its opening weekend.

A question that lingers is if “The Hangover” needed a sequel in the first place. The first movie was beyond successful, not just at the box office, but all over the Internet and audience’s words. People continuously talked about how much they loved the movie, which brought the film to not just have a high popularity mark, but to become one of the biggest cult classics. Sometimes it’s not necessarily the money that makes a movie successful. It’s how a viewer handles what they’re watching, and boy, did they watch well!

But was a sequel really that necessary? Maybe it would’ve been better if “The Hangover” was left as a great memory. This movie could be something that everyone will talk about in thirty years as that one movie that should be a crime to not watch. Because no one in their right mind would have made a sequel to “Heathers.” Or to “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” But there were some popular movies that made pretty decent sequels, including “American Pie,” “Austin Powers,” and “Shrek.”

The original ‘Hangover’ did have some crazy moments to remember. Just the opening scene left some anticipation. When Bradley Cooper is talking to the groom’s fiancee about how they “messed” up really badly, one can tell that there’s going to be quite a story coming along the way. And the scene when they wake up in their hotel room with all the random items and animals around? Who would’ve thought that all of that could be explained?

Now the second version ought to have some more hilarious facts to be explained. The trailer already shows that the group of guys go to Thailand for another wedding where they wind up with another adventure. Alan wakes up with his head shaved while Stu wakes up with a tattoo- on his face. This is the one that led Mike Tyson’s tattoo artist to sue Warner Bros. for copyright infringement since Mike Tyson happens to have a similar tattoo.

The trailer of this movie leaves some more questions. What it all comes down to is “What the heck is going on now?!” That might drive some people to check this movie out. But how much of the audience will be satisfied? Will people think of this as a complete waste of time, and a poor exuse for the film industry to make some extra cash? Or will people think of it as another fun and happy adventure with pleased results of seeing the old Wolfpack back together again?

You’re the audience. What do you say?
