Overall, _The Witch 2: The Other One_ is a mostly solid sequel that simply isn’t as good as its predecessor.
However, while Park fails to get you as invested in the film’s story this time around, he does continue to provide a refreshing take on the concept of superhumans with an emphasis on relentlessly violent action and a well-developed world.
So much so that it may actually pay off to watch The Other One before Subversion since the latter is more of a look at the ‘Witch’ version of Ja-yoon than the film she actually originated in.

The first film in this series was excellent but I can only describe part two as "painfully dull".
Character development is fine but it should not take up two thirds of what is essentially an action film. Regrettably, that's exactly what you get.
Worse still, there are so many side characters and sub plots, it quickly becomes a confusing mess. You really have little idea what is going on, why and who half these largely redundant, side characters are.
This films only saving grace is reasonable acting. That said, so much else simply doesn't work, that means little in the scheme of things.
All in all, an awful sequel to a vastly superior original film. Its weighed down by a lack of pace, bland, uninspired storytelling and an over emphasis on side plots and characters that add little to nothing, to the tale. see more
