Inferior to the prequel
On a surface level, I don't think either this film nor the first film were that unique — the premise and plot development is all relatively expected. But while Part 1 had a really powerful screen presence from its main characters, Part 2 opts for a more cliche, unspeaking "fish-out-of-water" superpowered lead, who doesn't really stand out from the overwhelming number of side characters (there like like four different antagonist groups) who all have the same "badass bad guy" personality.The plot itself does feel less directed. Whereas there was a clear goal in the first one, this one felt much more passive; we spent basically the entire movie waiting for the bad guys to catch up to where our main characters were, siting still.
With that being said, as someone who understands both English and Mandarin, I did not really enjoy either of those groups. The English sounded fine, but the acting was not good, and it was very annoying to hear "Chief! Chief!" every other line. The Mandarin just did not sound good.
I think the final thing that just made this film feel more unserious was the special effects. There was something very nerve-wracking about all the Part 1 fights being up close and personal, even though everyone had super strength. It made everything scarier and bloodier. In this one, they opt for something in the vein of what the kdramas Strong Woman Bong-soon and Strong Girl Nam-soon went for — people getting punched and flying back 500 feet. It feels more comedic and doesn't at all match the serious tone the film seems to want to go for.
While I didn't dislike the main character, she was just...fine, especially in contrast to the main character from Part 1. In fact, it was amazing how much screen presence Ko Ja-yoon had when she finally appeared, and I realized I'd rather have gotten a story about her journey to getting where she is now, rather than time jumping to her return.

Ternyata Lebih Savage Dari Pt.1
It's fuckin greeeeaaatttt!!!Siapa yang nyangka kalo mereka bakal adik kakak? Pas opening aku mikirnya mereka gak ada saling berkaitan, soalnya si peneliti bilangnya anak kembar cowok-cewek, jadi ya bener-bener mikir "Oh gak ada kaitannya"
Udah gitu, si adiknya ini ternyata lebih jago telekinesisnya dibandingkan kakaknya, kalo urusan cerdas sih menurut aku lebih cerdas kakaknya. Menariknya si adik bisa merasakan emosi berbanding terbalik dari kakaknya.
Worth to watch guys!
Beneran deh, selama nonton bikin cengo terus hahaha
Saran dariku, rewatch dulu Pt.1 biar gak kebanyakan mikirin plot biar bisa cocoklogi dari kedua film ini.

cerita hambar
di sini lebih brutal, tapi pergerakan kamera masih bagus di film pertama, dan visual nya bagus banget sih,kekurangan terbesar ada di cerita nya motif dari 4 orang itu aneh banget cuman gara gara salah paham doang.
dan terkesan mengulang cerita pertama tapi minim emosi, sampai tidak bisa meyelamatkan adik kaka itu

Un vent de déjà-vu soufflé par une nouvelle héroïne !
Bon... je vais être honnête d'entrée 😅. J'étais super curieuse et impatiente de voir la suite du premier volet que j'avais beaucoup aimé ! Du coup, en lançant "The Witch Part 2", je pensais retrouver la vibe directe du premier... et franchement, j'ai été décontenancée... 😵💫Déjà, grosse surprise Kim Da-mi, notre héroïne iconique, est là... mais seulement en guest... Autant dire que ça m'a laissée un peu perplexe. 😭 J'avais tellement envie de continuer son histoire !!! À la place, on suit une nouvelle héroïne, dans un schéma qui ressemble énormément au premier film 🧬 " Une fille aux capacités spéciales, des méchants pas très futés, des scènes d’action bien chorégraphiées... rien de vraiment neuf"
Cela dit, je ne me suis pas ennuyée pendant le visionnage 😌. Le film reste dynamique, l'action est efficace, et les acteurs de ce deuxième volet font le job 🔥, mais clairement, j'aurais aimé poursuive directement avec Kim Da-mi... j'ai trouvé que c’était un peu frustrant d'avoir un "nouveau départ" au lieu d’une vraie suite 😕. La sensation de déjà-vu est aussi assez présente, et à certains moments, j'ai eu l'impression de revoir une version remixée du premier film...
Bref, "The Witch Part 2" reste un bon divertissement si tu ne cherche pas trop à comparer avec son grand frère. 🎬 Il pose des bases pour un univers plus large, mais il manque un petit quelque chose pour vraiment décoller...
Maintenant, j'attends de voir ce qu'ils vont faire avec la 3e partie... si il y'en a une🤞🏻. En tout cas j'espère vraiment retrouver toute la puissance que j’avais adoré dans le 1... ✌🏻

Entediante
Confesso que só vi The witch mesmo por causa do sukinho que aparecia nesse segundo filme, mas o primeiro valeu muito a pena assistir por causa da Da Mi e do Woo shik mas esse segundo achei extremamente entendiante, a história nada com nada, confesso que parecia que eu tava assistindo crepúsculo junto com os vingadores, não entendi se a gente tava no passado ou nos dias atuais, só vibrei quando o sukinho apareceu e a Da mi que esperei o tempo todo aparecer e só no final deu as caras e as duas são irmãs? Obviamente tiveram a quem puxar. E amei também a atriz que fez Unlock my boss, a capitã, adorei muito a personagem dela toda badass e tal e também um "monstro" mas assim vamos ter mais um fim? Eu só quero um fim e respostas pra essas crianças que foram modificadas e que pelo visto tem várias gerações.A Eun Bin nesse filme uma fofa amo demais também!
