Decent movie though not great !!
While this movie shares similarities with Part 1, the crew seems to have overlooked the fact that the audience is already aware of the girl’s supernatural abilities, eliminating any element of surprise. Additionally, the sheer magnitude of her powers,far greater than in the first installment makes certain scenes feel over-the-top, almost like an animation.
The expanded cast comes at the cost of character depth. The Girl, in particular, feels underdeveloped (she has only 8 to 10 lines in total), and JaYun’s screen time is disappointingly limited. In Part 1, JaYun’s intelligence and quick thinking saved her friend, but here, the Girl fails to prevent two tragic incidents despite later demonstrating overwhelming power—a lapse in logic that weakens the plot. Moreover, her excessive use of force against minor threats feels unnecessary, unlike the first film’s more calculated approach.
Genetically enhanced individuals are typically portrayed as not just physically superior but also highly perceptive and strategic. However, the Girl lacks clear objectives or situational awareness, making her decisions feel inconsistent.
Just few Suggestions:
Limit the scale of powers to maintain tension and realism (otherwise, it risks becoming like X-Men). Strengthen character arcs, especially for the Girl, to make her more compelling.
***
Despite these plot-related criticisms, the acting performances were exceptional across the board!
