REVIEW IN SPANISH
De entrada destacar el genial plano secuencia del principio y como este a la vez ya no parece una película de terror sino de crimen almenos con ese inicio, aunq es un personaje q conecta con la primera película siento q no conecta con la temática de la película q este ente maligno.
Los trabajos unidimensionales de los personajes sigue siendo un pero enorme en este tipo de cintas, pero resaltando sus recursos técnicos y juego en el tiempo de la narrativa q la hace mejor q la primera película, Smile 2 es imaginativa con la camara, y desafiante en ese sentido, haciendo una película al nivel del estándar requerido y evidentemente una disfrutable película pero ahí nomás creo q alcanzaria en general la película.

REVIEW IN ENGLISH
First of all, I would like to highlight the brilliant sequence shot at the beginning and how it no longer seems like a horror film but rather a crime film, at least with that beginning. Although it is a character that connects with the first film, I feel that it does not connect with the theme of the film, that of this evil entity.
The one-dimensional work of the characters continues to be a huge drawback in this type of film, but highlighting its technical resources and play with the narrative time that makes it better than the first film, Smile 2 is imaginative with the camera, and challenging in that sense, making a film at the level of the required standard and evidently an enjoyable film, but I think that is where the film would generally reach.
