Hitman 2 (2025)

The first movie was one of my favs, and this was fun a sequel but it wasn’t that amazing
It was fun seeing the same characters and nice to have my oppa oppa girl so much this year
They had some comedy but not that good and it was kinda obv how things were going too much tho I did have to throw hints for mom cuz they weren’t twist vague just not too spelled out to understand



since the first one was him getting dragged back in the spy world cuz of his manhwa, it made sense this time they tried to use it against him
and it was a smart move, to have the bad guy repeat the story but still be a step ahead, but there were elements, like Jeon Hae In flirting with both men was obv sus but the events weren't too clear as well until they were revealed so I wish they had better flow
maybe for a more episodic vibe, to have constant villains come and go, like totally spies, would fit more than to have a linear movie

Why was this made?

"Hitman 2," the Korean film, sadly didn't quite hit the mark for me. From the start, the plot felt unnecessarily convoluted, struggling to weave together its diverse elements into a coherent narrative. It seemed to lack the finesse needed to hold the viewer's attention, with twists and turns that felt forced rather than integral to the storyline. This complexity made it difficult to remain engaged, causing scenes that should have been climactic to fall disappointingly flat.

Character development was another area where the film missed the opportunity to shine. The main characters, while full of potential, were not explored in depth, leaving me craving more insight into their motivations and backgrounds. This lack of depth made it challenging to emotionally invest in their journeys or care about their fates, reducing the film to a series of events rather than a compelling story.

Action sequences, although plentiful, seemed to be a crutch rather than an enhancement. While some might find entertainment in the relentless pace and explosive scenes, I found them to lack the substance and intricacy that could elevate the film from a typical action flick to a memorable cinematic experience. The over-the-top nature of these scenes often detracted from the overall narrative, making them feel like interruptions rather than integral components of the plot.

Ultimately, "Hitman 2" seemed to focus on style over substance, prioritising high-intensity action at the expense of meaningful storytelling. For those looking for a deep or engaging narrative, this film might not meet expectations. In conclusion, despite its ambitious premise, "Hitman 2" didn't quite resonate with me, leaving it as a rather forgettable chapter in the action genre.
