The image on the box makes it look like soft-core porn, but&#8212;well, the only thing I can say about the movie without spoilers is that at no point is the movie what you think it is.<\/p>\n<p>I would recommend it highly, except that I've recently run into some people who didn't like it.  I think someone recently said it was a good movie that was ruined by the ending; whereas I would say the ending is brilliant.  (And you have to keep watching through the credits for full effect.)<\/p>\n<p>So if you didn't like <cite>Wild Things,<\/cite> the following question is not for you.<\/p>\n<p>My question: Is <cite>Wild Things 2<\/cite> worth watching?<\/p>\n<p>I rented it the other day, 'cause I suspected that I wouldn't be able to get anyone else to reliably tell me whether I would like it.  I'll still probably watch it, just out of curiosity.  But the IMDB is not reassuring.  The sequel was direct-to-video, it doesn't seem to have been made by anyone associated with the original movie, it got a much lower average score than the first one.  It's probably terrible.<\/p>\n<p>But I figured it was worth asking about, just in case someone else who really liked the first one has seen the second one and can provide a thumbs-up or thumbs-down.<\/p>\n<p>I'll certainly go into it with low expectations, if I watch it at all.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I should start by saying that, imo, the movie Wild Things is quite good.
