Why does this get so much love?

I was looking forward to seeing this, as I loved the first. But...dear God, what a waste this film was. Everything that was great about the first is gone and replaced by gore for the sake of gore. Don't get me wrong, I love slasher flicks but this struck me as just one of the lower kinds. I wasn't impressed at all, and being very disappointed I come here like I usually do. And...it seems like everyone on this board just loves it so much. Why!?

What's not to love? This is a timeless classic that will someday be considered superior to The Godfather part II.

Okay, maybe not, but I thought this was one of the sequels that improved on its original premise. First movie bored me a little to be honest. Apart from that arguably memorable ending it felt like a completely unremarkable 1980's slasher with worse acting than usual. The sequel(s) solved this problem by going comedy and taking everything so far it was impossible to take things seriously. I wasn't bored for a second.
