I could understand that the plot was twisty.. a part or two looked a little silly. I thought it was pretty neat though, neat little atmosphere and creepy doll people. I did not see it in 3D, so perhaps the 3D was bad or something.

What I got from the movie is that it wasn't really about revenge. It was more a wish to be with them. As we grow up, we tend to try and hold onto our childhood, our past, but all it does is cause pain. Trying to hold onto friends that want to move on with their lives only hurt ourselves. That is an overall image I get from the movie.
Based on the little glimpse of Yuki, there is dirt on her feet, I think that is a hint that things might not be what we are being led to believe by the new information. Yuki seems to have really brought her friends back to the labryinth, but not for revenge or to try and save herself. I think she wanted them with her, which she couldn't in her coma. Their lives moved on, but she was stuck. So, she brought her friends back to the labryinth, which led them to interact with themselves and get themselves killed. In the end their spirits were in the same state as she was, and she wasn't alone.
Many believe that time works in the way this movie shows. The friends going back was always meant to happen and is the only way they reached their present time frame. If you have seen Supernatural Season 4 episode 3, you might understand the concept. The character Dean's future existed only because he went back. Easiest to say, he wouldn't have had his signature car if he hadn't gone back and interacted. When you look at it this way, Yuki really is the only one responsible for her coma. It isn't something she can ever change, but she is the one who seems to have established the cycle.

I don't understand why someone would hate any movie. I can understand not liking a movie, or not caring for it, but hating a movie? That's a little bit extreme. Unless there is a personal attack to you or something like that, I don't get why hate on a movie.
I haven't seen this movie, but I felt like commenting on why people might hate movies. At least in my case I'll hate a movie if I feel like the filmmakers are promoting a message that I strongly disagree with, or almost as bad, a message that is so empty-headed that I feel like they're wasting my time. Because, let's be honest, we all have better things to do with our time than staring at a screen for 90 minutes.
That said, I don't hate many movies. Even if they're low-budget, amateur or poorly acted, I like to figure out what the filmmakers are trying to say before I pass judgment.
I hate a lot of Woody Allen movies, even though they're well made, just because a recurring theme in his films is an old man having a scandalous affair with a young girl. Coming from Woody Allen, that disturbs me since we know he's probably trying to justify/glorify his own scandalous affairs and molestation of his adopted daughters Soo-Yi when she was 19, and Dylan when she was 7 years old. With that in mind, how can anyone NOT hate his films about geezers having a fling with young girls?
I really don't think there are any such morally disturbing messages about this movie, so even if it sucks on a storytelling level, I'm willing to give it a shot someday.
