A Good Movie But An Inferior Sequel
We start off with the end of the first movie, This movie heavily relies on the backstories of the three main guardians while Don Lee's character is served to be the movie's emotional narrator of the backstories. The backstories was really well done and the lore was not confusing especially with the big plot twist at the end. I do have to agree to someone that the pacing and sudden jump cuts from serious emotional backstories to CGI dinosaurs was quite jarring and cohesive, even though it was fun to see Ha Jung Woo fighting dinosaurs I wanted the transition between the effusive moments to the more comical moments be more well done. Ha Jung Woo's character's past was the best out of the three, betraying his adopted brother which turned out to be Ju Ji Hoon's character and Ju Ji Hoon's past turning out to be so well thought out and a tear jerker. Ju Ji Hoon and Kim Hyang Gi obviously stole the spotlight with every scene they in, Ju Ji Hoon's comical performance with Kim Hyang Gi's more wholesome yet emotional performance makes the movie more entertaining and heartfelt. Along With The Gods: The Last 49 Days succeeds bringing the characters more depth but it suffers from unusual pacing, and transitions.
