Hard revenge Milly: bloody battle

After thoroughly enjoying its precedessor, the "bloody battle" didn't turn out to be thaat bloody at all. way too much runtime is spent on needless talking and allegedly meditative moments of people smoking cigarettes or just staring while pretentious music plays. sure, we get a few red fountains, stabbings and dismemberments, but they pile up towards the end while the first half is annoying to sit through. only real good part is the fighting choreography.

with a rumtime twice of part one, i expected to have this additional time filled with more violence and intentive kills - instead, it tries too hard being "kill bill" and building up something that's probably supposed to be a plot. retrospectively speaking, i wish i hadn't spend a fair amount on the double feature dvd. and if this was actually uncut, i can only imagine the boredom enduring a cut edition.

Personally i wish this became a franchise because the story of milly and the subsequent need for others to thirst for revenge against her brought unlimited story potential. but sadly that was not to be as this was the final installment. Needless to say i thoroughly enjoyed this film. The actions scenes were top notch and I loved the addition of the new villain with a certain sexual fetish I will not reveal. I think the main thing to take from the film is that revenge will hardly ever bring real peace but for some people thats the only thing they have left to live for.

Hard Revenge, Milly: Bloody Battle is the sequel to Hard Revenge, Milly. It is a better movie then the 1st one. bloody Battle is 70mins compared to the 44mins of the 1st movie. This allows more of a story and plot line. The character of Milly undergoes some development and there is actually a background substory that seems to be setting up for follow up sequels.

Like the 1st movie, the action scenes are quite good with the editing making the fights look very good. To fully comprehend Bloody battle, you will need to watch Hard Revenge. Bloody Battle's main plot line is Milly being hunted by the friends of the baddies she killed in the 1st movie.

While not great its an OK movie with OK acting and action.

A much slicker movie than the first and with a higher budget; though this type of material does not (directly) benefit from a more polished treament. Still contains some brilliant action/fight sequences (that hollywood can only dream of) and i'm sure more 'Milly' films will follow. Well hoping so.

Bloody Battle follows on from the previous years Hard Revenge Milly short film which surprised me with it's competence.

This feature length (Though still a tad short) sequel continues Millys story and does it once again in the over the stop gory style of the first and it works so very well.

From the great fight sequences, over the top action and general quality I was engrossed but the universe in which its set is barely touched upon which I found a shame. Why have it in a post apocalyptic world if you aren't going to show this?

The biggest problem the movie has is that it's incomplete, it feels like the 2nd part of a bigger story and as of now there are no sequels and therefore unlikely to be. The finale and everything about the story desperately needed a 3rd movie and so the story will forever remain incomplete.

Fun fast paced action for those aware that this is ultimately an incomplete franchise.

The Good:

Awesome fight sequences

Very well made

The Bad:

Still doesn't introduce us to this post apocalyptic Japan

Incomplete story without a sequel

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

When raping a corpse leaving all their clothes on works equally as well using the new magical ghost penis which doesn't let pesky clothes get in the way *Insert advertising jingle here*

Nunchuk gun is just about the coolest weapon ever created

The pinky superman punch is a fear inducing fighting technique

Calling a person who saves your life a bitch is standard etiquette

When you have metal hands it still makes sense to equip brass knucks
