High Five (2025)

An action comedy movie about five (six) people suddenly get a superpower after getting an organ transplant. One person is trying to acquire all of the superpowers while the others are trying to stop him, seems like a classic superhero storyline. The story is mixed between action and comedy, but somehow this create a confusing situation whether this movie is tend to be realistic or silly-ish. For an almost two hours long movie, the storyline is quite shallow. Some of the decisions made by the characters are bizzare and come out of nowhere.

The CGI is so bad, intentional or not. Even if it's intentional, their original intention may not worked. Good thing to take is the main character's performance. They all have done an excellent job, especially Lee Jae In. On the other hand, the villain(s) don't bring enough evil aura though.

Flashy but hollow

It's a mixed bag to a very serious degree, they're going for extreme cult comedy that even the main arc itself is about fighting a religious cult leader, paired together with characters that acquired superhuman abilities due to some organ transplantation mythology. Most of the time the storyline was quite witty but also consistently dumb, one of the better aspects is the chemistry between the actors and their charismatic acting as they liven up the characters. The cgi part though is literally the weakest thing in this movie, they just don't look realistic on screen, whether intentionally or not, the unrefined graphics are sadly quite distracting to look at.
