Kiseijû: Kanketsu-hen

After watching the first part, I consequently had to watch this one as well and I have to say that it overall didn't disappoint. It picks up right where part 1 left and further keeps the story going. However I should mention that the pacing is slower and less action packed and the fact that we already spent almost two hours in this world takes away some of the mystery. This is not necessarily a complaint but rather just a fact and if you are interested in the world that Parasyte: Part 1 created then that should not be a problem. I think part 1 was slightly better because of the faster pacing and less of the politics and drama, however I think this is a solid sequel and almost a must watch if you enjoyed Part 1. [6,1/10]

I've seen people have different opinions about Part 2. Some like it better but for me, I think it didn't reach that climax I've been so excited about. Throughout the two films, I could say that acting was decent, the MC looked better when he was "serious" rather than goofy at the first half of the first film. I also like how the female parasyte actress played her role. The problem for me for the second film was that there wasn't much build up to the final fight where you don't really feel the part of the villain on the story. I also was expecting a huge some kind of war between parasytes and humans and instead, one party overwhelmed the other. Overall, still pretty decent and a nice change of pace for anime and horror fans.

Part 1 - 7.5/10 Part 2 - 7.0/10.

I still haven't gotten around to watching the Parasyte anime, I hear mixed things. I did however watch the first Parasyte live action film and found myself entertained, it was good stuff.

The sequel following directly on is more of the same but lacked the novelty value of the first and I found myself rather disappointed by it.

Full of frantic fast paced actions sequences, a continuation of the originals plot and decent sfx I'm not saying it's bad by any means I'm simply saying it's underwhelming as a sequel.

Maybe this is a travesty compared to the anime like the live action Attack On Titan movies were, maybe the live action is better alike Assassination Classroom. Time will tell, but I'm not upset there are no more Parasyte movies after this one.

The Good:

Follows on from the first film

Looks great

The Bad:

Messy plot

I still think Migi looks ridiculous

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

If a mothers last wish is that you take care of her baby, seconds after she dies dump it on the first person you see

Teenage boy with a creature for a right hand, there are so many questions/jokes here I wouldn't even know where to start

Parasyte: Part 1 came as a surprise to me, a pleasant one I must say. The whole concept might seem awry to some, and the poster doesn't help with that.

Anyway,I watched the first one because of a good rating and had to watch part 2 consequently.

It picks up right where the 1st part ends with the ever evolving duo of Shinchi & Migi trying to find a way to end the parasyte menace. At this point I must mention that the action is not as fast and frequent in this installment and it proceeds at a slower pace. But what I really liked about this was the dialogues between different entities. The justification given by Parasytes (both Tamia and others), humans and Migi+Shinchi for their survival was just amazing. It sets a really dark undertone for the film and makes you question whether humans really are the most superior race and do they really deserve to dominate the planet. The special effects are really good and most scenes stand out visually.

The only disappointments were the abrupt end to the final showdown between Shinchi and the 5 in 1 parasyte and the sappy lesson at the end saying human spirit can conquer everything.

Needless to say if you have watched the 1st part and enjoyed it watch this one without any hesitations. It will enthrall and entertain you for sure.

Solid sequel and a satisfying end. Emotionally charged and almost as good as the anime. Wish I watched this series sooner.
