Happy Death Day 2U

Highly recommend this one. It adds a lot of depth to the universe and characters and it all works. One of the rare times when the sequel is better than the original. Hard to call it straight up horror at this point but it doesn't matter cause it's so much fun. It knows full well how ridiculous it has become and embraces it, which results in some gut-bustingly funny moments. Jessica Rothe reminds me of a modern day Sarah Michelle Gellar with a bit more emotional range, and this series plays like a modern "I know what you did last summer" but more genre blending and fun.

Alita: Battle Angel

A mix of exciting moments and other moments that are a bit eye-roll-y. Certainly enjoyable overall and intriguing enough to warrant a sequel. A lot of carnage and cyborgs getting diced up into pieces, if that's your thing. It shines when there is action and world exploration, and it gets tedious when the focus is put on some of the flatter characters/villains. Alita being as endearing as she is helps the overall arc though.
