A cheating piece of junk

When I watched "Special Forces 1" in 2009, it was so amazing that I was very much looking forward to the sequel. The sequel, however, left me wanting to cry. Such a good subject matter and such a good foundation laid by the first film were all ruined by the SB director.

The investment of this film is not as good as one-third of the special forces 1 according to my viewing experience. The investment in special effects, writing, and casting is very low.
1. Cast:
Except for Dwayne Johnson, other well-known characters are basically cameos. The actor in the first episode died when he appeared on the scene, and only took the money for the cameo. Needless to say, the snake eye is all about it. Cover your face, just pull anyone with some martial arts skills, Satan only shows his face after death, and he was a president before; the original cobra in the first episode was played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt , which left a deep impression in "Inception" and "Ring Messenger", and in the second episode, the actor who played Cobra does not know who it is. Only the white ghost is still the most connected character in the first episode, but everyone knows what the worth of Asian actors is in Hollywood.

2. Various special effects: The production of special effects is not as good as the first episode. Various advanced weapons are gone. The special forces must have the most cutting-edge weapons, such as the invisibility cloak in the first episode, the robot-like battle suit that can run like a fly after wearing it, and all kinds of stunning aircraft. But in the second episode, as if returning to the era of cold weapons, even the tank that Johnson sat in at the end was only at the level of World War I. The action scene of flying over the cliff and walking on the wall, if you have seen the scene in the Korean film "The Alliance for Treasures", where you fight with ropes in the upper room, you will not feel amazing. In terms of the details of the local fight, the handling level is not as good as "The Lost Treasures". Treasure Alliance.

3. I can't agree with the level of the screenwriter. In the first episode, the plot has suspense, tension and imagination, but in the second episode, some scenes will make me feel like vomiting. Most obviously, Bruce Willis pulls out all kinds of old-fashioned weapons from all corners of the house, which can only be found in action movies twenty years ago. Besides, a high-ranking military official, it is necessary Do you keep so many weapons at home? And it's all rubbish.

In general, this movie made me very uncomfortable, and I had a feeling of being deceived. This is the most disappointing film in recent years, and I wish the director of the film a good death.
