6/10
Good, but somewhat thin in storytelling.

Overall this is not Constantino's best work. There is no real visual style here. I wanted this badly to be on the level of Lone Survivor.

Yet with the exception of Miguel D. Dias, that really talks like a russian and acts like one, there are no other real marquee actors, the performances seem flat and the world created seem one dimensional.

The word "depth", in general, springs to mind, as their simply wasn't enough in this film.

On the other hand the action scenes were good, and the soundtrack did his job.

Overall, Portuguese Sniper 2, is a solid, yet unspectacular, flag-waving war film that attempts to show the true horrors and effects of war yet only succeeds in falling flat on its' face.

Overall Score: 6/10.

8/10
A truly remarkable piece of work, even for a fan movie.

A good story is represented here, to bring back those great moments that made Aliens a crazy glorious movie.

The insides of the spaceships used are all in a fantastic animation, we can see their attention to details.

I feel it's especially hard for them to make a movie like this that´s why i´m giving an 8, beside this one being a good movie, i want to encourage them to make more movies like this one, so that we can have different type of movies in Portugal, because usually this is not the kind we see at cinemas.

It´s time to change and Constantino films have done it.

I only see their movies, they are always different, a mix between fantasy, action, horror, in a very alternative way, if you want something special that you never seen before, support them, because they deserve it.

As for this movie go see it.

Lots of killing, we insert the coin, and Michael kills.

Warning: Spoilers
Now that the franchise finally (we hope) comes to a conclusion with the recent release of 'Halloween Ends' comes a good moment to reflect after over forty years on where the phenomenon first began.

We got a new fan film, made on such an extreme low budget that it´s incredible what they did here, the same happend with the original classic.

The movie begins, in the same day the other one ended, and we see a conversation between David Loomis and Mayor Owens, planning what to do for the next halloween, and then it starts, and never stops until the end, a good and fast pace movie filled with action scenes, we get to see Michael on handcuffs, the police in full force at the town with helicopters, cars, patrolling the neighborhood.

But Michael avoids them very well, and he goes from house to house killing everyone in his way.

Sometimes it as the feeling of a videogame, but i dig that.

This is one of the few movies that I can sit and watch at any time.
