After a promising start, "Insidious 2" gets really dull pretty quickly. At first, I was relieved that the color grading wasn't as obtrusive this time around and that we wouldn't have to sit through endless tedious introductions. However, the mystery of Josh (Patrick Wilson), who is possessed by a ghost, is dragged out far too much, especially because the viewer knows exactly where the journey is going. In the end, there is also a bit of time travel, which finally jumps the shark. The plot is also simply too convoluted. Despite the fact that James Wan's direction is still competent, I simply did not enjoy this film.
