I liked it very much. I would give it ***1/4 easily. Anthony Perkins is maybe even better here than he was in the original.

Psycho III is much more of a mixed bag, but that has many fans too. I liked it. |

It is like they watched a different version or something. I've been watching some of their old Sneak Previews. They could be a bit on the snobby side. I will have to see if their review for "Psycho 2" is online. |

Ebert had an affection for mindless action movies and some moronic comedies. He enjoyed Transformers so much he almost rated it 3.5/4 stars.

Very worthy sequel. Exceeded my expectations by a long way.
The director is a big Hitchcock fan so he did the right thing. (i.e. not Rian Johnson)

Best horror movie of 1983 IMO. It's a cleverly written psychological horror with slasher elements that in no way seeks to merely emulate the ingredients of Hitchcock's 1960 classic. Would strongly recommend.

My friend and I speculate that Roger Ebert's main criteria for a good movie is that it had lots of scenes with big boobs. Ebert was friends and collaborators with Russ Meyer, after all. |

My funny friend and I speculated that Roger Ebert's main criteria for a good movie is that it had lots of scenes with big boobs. He was friends and collaborators with Russ Meyer, after all. I might find that funny if there was any truth to it. The fact is that he disliked more movies with nudity than he liked probably. I am a big fan, so I know most of his ratings for famous movies off the top of my head.

“Surprisingly decent” is a perfect description for it. It has a good mystery, interesting storyline, and good suspense.

I am a big fan, so I know most of his ratings for famous movies off the top of my head. I am thinking that the kick off for our speculation was Ebert's big, round, Coke bottle glasses. If I recall (and maybe you do) one of SP opening bits was a cartoon takeoff that exaggerated Ebert's eyewear. Plus the fact that he just seemed like the kind of guy who would go for big boobs. Can't really explain that. |

I'm not big on the final moments (though the third movie does fix this), but overall I think it's actually pretty good.
