Complete disappointment


Anybody else completely disappointed? I was so looking forward to the second one after watching the first. The first one had a tight story with a good tempo that kept you on the edge of the seat. The second one has a completely forgettable story with none of the memorable characters. It feels like watching Mad Max in Walking Dead.

I haven't seen it, but I'm not surprised. Train to Busan was fantastic. There was no need for a follow up. I was completely surprised when I saw the trailer that they were actually doing a sequel....but yeah not surprised it's a disappointment.

I rated Peninsula 1.
I rated Train to Busan 9

Peninsula had zero redeeming qualities, not even popcorn junk.
Rape Zombie 1 was much better : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2271565/

I thought the first one was crappy, so.... I'm not gonna bother with this one ^^

Had moments when i was like ... ok, this can be good.

But per total 4/10.

"anybody else completely disappointed"
Yes. I was also looking forward to this even after reviewers said it was crap. I made it 30 minutes before I couldn't take it anymore and turned it off.

I agree the first one was clearly the best, but I enjoyed this movie a lot.

reply

agree, they tried too much making it an american style action movie so the movie lost its ''personality'' which I thought is a pity because I really liked the premise of Koreans living in HK going back to get the us dollars.

The first one was an action movie but was more character driven.
