Over 9000

Dang, considering how much I liked the characters and story of the first one, and how you've basically described the BIGGER, LOUDER, more expensive sequel that hopes to cash in glory of the original, it seems like a miss.

I may eventually get around to seeing it out of curiosity, at some point, but it's certainly no longer a priority.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I never did get around to seeing it. Recommended or skip?

Computer game wannabe shite!

This one started off well enough, but after 18 minutes, the lead had a FLAWLESS VICTORY over 50+ Korean yakuza, all armed with sharp weapons.
10 minutes later, the lead had more FLAWLESS VICTORIES - with the Mortal Kombat-style death moves - on almost countless men in suits.

Fast forward to the hour part, there's been a tiny bit of story, but it's too mixed in with the Hardcore Henry style of "storytelling" to continue watching to find out who's really who and how it all ends.

I had to turn it off at the hour mark!
The insanely over-the-top action, the completely ludicrous, physics-denying stunts, the eyeball-aching CGI of the road battle.

Don't get me wrong: it's a technical marvel how it was all pulled off but, sadly, the viewer was never really considered. This is a vanity project on steroids!
I could only recommend people to avoid this turd.

Because I've watched so many films, I divide and rate them according to origin.
Also, it's not really fair to expect, say, a Vietnamese film to have the same production values as a Korean one.

WTF? Is this a massive spoiler?

Without spoiling anything, how does this sequel exist with this cast?

No comments? Is it that bad?

The blurb tells me nothing about the plot, hence looking it up here.

You'll likely find the comics on plenty of free manga sites, for instance, MangaNato or MangaKatana.

I dropped this trash half way through the 3rd episode; wow, was this lame!

Awful CGI (why was it even needed), bland characters, an insanely stupid situation and ridiculous monsters - I mean: they're supposed to be humans who've mutated but they can't die? GTFO!

Needless to say but I didn't enjoy this even remotely, hence my giving it a 1*.

Megan's review, above, told me everything I needed to know: all the problems I had with the comic are still there!

This is a definitely skip for me then.

The comic started off well but really became a grind to finish, while I definitely thought that Hong (the lead) ended up with the wrong man!
If this is based on the early issues, it could be enjoyable (hopefully the main love interest isn't as big a dick though).

I'd never heard of this series, but it now has a Filipino version.

Aren't they: Queen of Kung Fu, QoKF 2 and QoKF 3?
I was wondering if the series was any good, hence looking the title up on this site...

A martial arts indie flick from when the Korean film industry was starting to pick up buzz, this is a brilliant film for anyone who studies martial arts but, regrettably - as the 5 people who rated it clearly shows - didn't ever get the recognition it deserved.

Oh man, another flick I watched year ago (actually, I saw it several times!), that set the bar for Korean content!
Bar Legend is a legendary flick! Hilarious, butt-kicking and shaking its head at thug life, if you can find this, it's well wort checking out.

I watched this back in the early 2000s and I remember absolutely loving it! Completely over-the-top, funny and totally kick-arse, if memory serves correctly, this one is definitely recommended!

John Wick is basically every '80s action flick rolled into one and then the chaff shaved off and a killer stunt team brought in to make the real magic happen.

I don't know why everyone nowadays says any good action film is, a "bootleg", "rip-off" or "like" John Wick.

Funny how all these "non-celebrity" other halves are always mega-rich.

Anyway, good luck to them both.

I've met people in the trade who have told me it's taken more than 10 years(!!!) to get a film made! Some projects just get written and go straight into development, while others... don't.

Also, I'm not sure if some writer in Korea read the John Wick screenplay and decided to rip it off, since most scripts aren't published online until after the film has been released (Black List aside, which writers nowadays have come to acknowledge as being pretty much a scam site).
