I decided to watch a movie before my 3-day hiatus ends. Yup, tomorrow, would be my first work day for the year 2015.
Well,
the verdict, it’s inconsistent. I thought that there were instances
that I was like, “oh okay”, that was good, at least in my taste. Those
women with huge fuzzy hair and all were pretty decent. Then again, there
were instances that the effects were inconsistent all throughout. In
addition, the effects would have been better had the action scenes
somehow blended well with it. I thought the action scenes were one of
the loop holes. I was expecting more with scenes but instead, it turned
out to be cartoon-ish, and not believable for me. The actors weren’t
effective to me in terms of those fight scenes. Maybe because the
slow-mo effects were dominant but more so, these scenes could have been
highlighted more especially that this movie was sold to the moviegoers
with a serious tone. I felt like the comedic scenes were mostly the
things that would be left out of the memories of people when they get
out of the cinemas. Read. Lotlot de Leon was brilliant.Save for De Leon and Marquez, the rest was just average. Dantes would have shown more depth in terms of acting, but it was just okay. Daza, who’s fairly new into acting, did not deliver for me. For an “aswang”, she was too soft when she was doing her action scenes.
All in all, expectations became higher than mediocre, and so I was somehow disappointed. It’s promising, but that was just it. Maybe they can redeem themselves, on the 3rd installment, with Marian Rivera perhaps on the lead role as villain. Ooops, spoiler alert. Better find out then.
I am not a film critic, I am just a normal moviegoer who just wants to voice my opinion. :)
