Laughably bad action/CGI scenes..
25 May 2016
REALLY? Really Anne Black? This is like watching a Chinese action movie where everyone stands around doing nothing until hero tries to kick them, then they fall in the most dramatic fashion possible.

Action, is just terrible in this movie. John Wick is a movie with low budget and that has some of the best action scenes ever done. Then again, John Wick didn't spend most of its budget doing laughably bad rendition of Hobbit, unlike Mythica.

Action is so bad that Mythica makes you doubt whether the guy wielding a huge sword can actually use it or not. In MOST shots featuring enemy Orks, you will actually see them standing around doing nothing. Really, they aren't even pretending to be in a fight. They are just standing watching the "fight".

Then there is the terrible CGI. Which is back and unlike the first movie, doesn't have a single convincing shot present. Why? WHY waste money on CGI that looks like it's from a console game from 90s? Spend that money hiring people who can teach your actors to fight and find someone to shoot action scenes like they should be shot (that is, don't show guys standing around idly thinking about meaning of life, in the background).

Everything else? Well I don't know. This movie somehow manages to make the heroes look even dumber, especially the thief who at the end doesn't seem to be bothered by the heroine stealing his life to use her necro powers to the point that he can't feel his fingers. I'd be pretty angry, honestly.

Now going to go watch the third movie, hoping they improved it. I wanted better than the first one, Anne made it worse with second. I am hoping third is going to be an improvement after all the feedback she got.. hoping.
