Der Schacht 2

Like most of the people, I really, really like the first one, in fact is in my personal "top" of all time movies.

With this one, I recall this sort of maxim "When a story needs to be explained, it's because it was poorly told"...

So, in my opinion, this was a pitiful and unnecessary sequel.

Few films have left me feeling as frustrated as this one, I cherish my time with films and other kinds of art, but this experience fell short.

My hype wasn't so high, and yet, the outcome was a disaster.

At the end, I get so confused about the story... I don't really understand why the same people behind the first one, wanted to achieve with this...

The Platform 2 attempts to build on the unique premise of its predecessor, but ultimately falls short of its predecessor's impact. While the first film delivered a gripping exploration of class struggle and human morality within a dystopian setting, the sequel feels like a rehash rather than an expansion of the original concept.

The sequel introduces new characters and rules, but they often lack the depth and development that made the original so compelling. The social commentary, which was sharp and thought-provoking in the first film, feels muddled and less impactful this time around. The pacing is uneven, with stretches that drag and moments that feel forced or contrived.

Visually, the film retains some striking imagery, yet it fails to evoke the same visceral tension that kept audiences on edge previously. Ultimately, "The Platform 2" feels unnecessary, as it doesn't add meaningful insights or innovations to the story. While fans of the original may appreciate returning to this world, the sequel serves as a reminder of how powerful the first film was-highlighting just how much it left to be desired in its follow-up.

After having enjoyed part 1, I was looking forward for this one but got hugely disappointed.

Inspite of too many questions n almost no answers, the first was was really impressive n captivating.

Expected some answers n a satisfying ending from part 2, but the makers didn't show anything new, in fact more questions are left unanswered, same things from part 1 are included, nothing new or thrilling stuff added in this one.

The suspense, the dreadful atmosphere, the dark comic, etc which were there in part 1 is all missing in part 2.

Mayb the makers are short of ideas of how to conclude the film.

Bang average... To be honest this should have been like Cube (1997) 1 and done (if anyone hasn't seen Cube and you liked the first one, go out of your way to find it, it's a brilliant film, TRUST ME! ).

This one is a bit strange in all honesty, I know the original was as well, but there was reason behind the rhyme. Plus the Biblical and societal comparisons were open to interpretation, depending on how you saw it, which is a bit lost in this one.

The first was a Seven or Eight out of Ten, but this one is bang, "middle of the road, right down the center Five out of Ten" average.

Its worth seeing if you have seen the first one, but you won't enjoy it as much. It's a completely different style and type of film, but I suppose it's still worth watching if you want to see "A SEQUAL".....

No sensible plot. No nothing. Just bunch of nonsense. Halfway into the movie I can't help but wondering what this movie is about. And after I finished the movie, I still can't figure out what this movie is about.

As the person who likes The Platform 1/El Hoyo very much, this sequel is very disappointing.

I understand that maybe the writer or the director want a more cinematic movie. But can't you make one with a real plot? Not like this one. Wtf is this.

Do not waste your time watching this movie. Highly anticipated but also highly disappointing. I waited days to watch this and I'm on of the first 59 people who gave stars. I watched this the second it's released. But damn I'm so disappointed lol.
