It has become a trend in modern cinema that every good film must at least have a sequel or two, and it's no surprise that The Blue Elephant followed this trend.
The Blue Elephant 2 is a good film, the story is quite the same as the first film, even the plot twists are not surprising. However, you wouldn't care about that, because the film has made it clear from the first scene that it intends to blow your mind by the music, editing and the graphics.
The film's score is excellent, it's very loud, kind of derived from the first part but this is not a bad thing, it has become kind of a signature for The Blue Elephant films, the second you hear the music, you immediately know what film it is. Hats off to Hesham Nazih.
The editing is spectacular, probably the film's best feature. The way it cuts from one scene to another, it feels like a flow of beauty. Amazing. As for the graphics, they were really good but sometimes it kind of felt like the CGI animal aliens that were added to the Star Wars original trilogy. It's still a big achievement for the Egyptian cinema though.
Overall performances by the actors and actresses were great, it's surprising that Marwan Hamed has pulled these performances out of them in a horror summer blockbuster like that, this is why he is one of the best directors in Egypt at the moment.
Blue Elephant 2 is a great cinema experience that I enjoyed very much, but I would only watch it whenever there isn't anything better on the television!
