I don't think Carrie 2 is anywhere near as bad as it's reputation, I enjoyed it far more than I thought. Definitely better than the rather forgettable 2013 remake, IMO.

I find part 2 and the 2013 remake to be about equal in quality, as in goodness, but I think I prefer part 2 too because it tried something new instead of just being a rehash of the original. Julianne Moore was great as the mother though, and Chloë Grace Moretz was serviceable enough as a Carrie White.

Carrie 2 was pretty similar to the original in terms of plot structure, but I still enjoyed it a fair amount. I think it just has the stigma of being a sequel to a beloved film and also coming so late after the original, which is always going to be a strike against you.
