The Fable: The Killer Who Doesn't Kill

Like part 1, the build up to the action is notably longer than the action spectacle itself. Though, the comical aspect really make up for it, hence it doesn't feel tedious. Moreover, the action scenes in this one feel more high budget so it's a real treat to watch!

Thanks to Netflix we were able to enjoy both films! I've been meaning to check them out ever since I watched the trailer on youtube but couldn't find a legal way then.

Like the first movie, this one also doesn't really work and it should be an anime. Some of the qurkiness does not really translate to real world, but the first movie is waaay more guilty of this.

This movie is improvement compared to the first in almost every aspect; some things stayed the same, like mediocre acting, even tho the production quality of second movie is much better.

Story will always be good, even tho it's less messy that the first one, it can still be better. And they finally made gun sounds decent (in first film, it was sooo bad, especially silencer sounds). What is really good in these movies is the action. The way Fable moves is awesome.

My personal gripe from both films is portrayal of Akira Satou/aka Fable. I think objectively the actor is probably fine, but not in my eyes, also the way he struggles with better enemies, does not gimme the vibe he is the legend as portrayed. In manga there is not one human who can beat him in fight, let alone give him trouble, but I can understand that it's for movie purposes.

6.3/10.

Not so fond of reading subtitles, but this one earned my time to do just that. Fun flick with a bit of romance, comedy, and some killing here and there..and best of all, our hero doesn't even look the part. Really enjoyed it//

It is better than the first.

Perhaps the character has grown on you.

Certainly the humor that was more miss than hit in the first time has made a big improvement.

Again a grave matter might have required a bit more closure. But somehow this was better communicated near the ending.

The reason why I rate this so high. Is because I enjoyed my watch of it.

Sure there are some issues but this is neat package.

Oh and I called the first one a guilty pleasure. This is to the level that it is not guilty anymore.

The first was good. The 2nd was amazing. Kampai!!

One of the best Japanese action movies that has been in a while now, packed with great stunts ,actions and funny charming characters.
