Better than the first?
I watched Election and Election 2 on consecutive days and to be honest I prefered the second one. My mum couldn't watch anymore after seeing the torture scene!

shareI'm pretty sure everyone likes the 2nd better than this one, the first one is like a prequel compared to the 2nd.
shareAlthough I enjoyed both, I have to say that I like the first one better than the second.

I liked both equally. They are different. Different pacings, close-up studies of different areas, and different moods.
Election is all about Lok. Election 2 is all about Jimmy. How they deal with-and resolve-situations and people are very different. Different personalities, different ambitions, and different outlooks.
Lok is a laid-back gangster, almost fatherly. Has a knack of winning loyalty, but as we see in E2, his greed for power ultimately corrupted him. He began to make empty promises and break them.
Jimmy is a distant gangster who wants to be a legit businessman. He's slick, well-dressed, and aloof. Can be very ruthless when necessary. He doesn't inspire much loyalty, but he gets a job done. But his ambitions ultimately imprisoned him.
Both were very enjoyable to watch.
Well said. But I love E2 better.

Both films are great but 2 is better. I loved both of them alot.
I also think how weird it was to see Lok's character change. He became more crazy. He needed to go though. I wish they wouldn't have left Jet's character hanging. To me I think it means he was going rouge which is cool. A sequel with him would be awesome if the writers and the director were for it. I'd buy all 3 movies if they did. Also I think it would be good if there was a prequel talking about Uncle Teng's chairmanship. How he got there and what happened next. I'd definitely watch 'em all. Here's to dreaming.
