<em>'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer'</em> is a pointless sequel. It doesn't do anything interesting, the change of location is also meaningless given how the plot plays out; in terms of weather and a convenient late arrival. None of the characters stick out either. Jennifer Love Hewitt continues to lead finely, though isn't as entertaining as last time out. Freddie Prinze Jr. barely features, while newcomers Brandy (albeit the best of the rest) and Mekhi Phifer are forgettable. I didn't expect to see that cameo from a certain someone, mind. Ultimately, it's just boring. I can't imagine <em>'I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer'</em> improved things given the release year jump and presumed cast changes, but I shall soon see.

The "I Know What You Did Last Summer" franchise has left a lasting impact on audiences, with the first film being particularly noteworthy for its thrilling and grounded portrayal of a vengeful antagonist. Ben Willis stands out as a compelling and underrated character, bringing a sense of realism to the story without delving into the supernatural realm. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. deliver captivating performances, drawing viewers in with their charisma and acting prowess. The sequel, "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer," takes the characters on a harrowing adventure to an island, adding another layer of suspense and terror to the franchise. While some may overlook this installment as a credible sequel, the addition of Brandy Norwood as Carla contributes to the film's appeal and intensity. However, the franchise takes a misstep with "I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer," introducing supernatural elements that detract from the grounded nature of the original films. This departure from reality diminishes the impact of the storyline and characters, leading to a disappointing third installment that lacks the involvement of the main cast. The television series based on the franchise offers a different but enjoyable take on the story, adding credibility and entertainment value to the overall franchise. While the series was cut short, fans are eager for a reboot that promises to bring fresh energy to the familiar tale. It is hoped that the original cast will return, providing a seamless continuation of the beloved saga akin to the success of the "Scream" franchise.

Just as good as the first in my opinion. Might be slightly better because this one has a lot more killings then the 1st.
