War 2

Humne unlimited popcorn liye, voh movie se jyada ache the aur voh best part of movie ka tha it is totally unworthy. Okay, so I went to see a movie the other day. Honestly, the unlimited popcorn was the real star of the show, not the film itself. I probably enjoyed the popcorn more than the whole movie experience. What a waste of money, the film was totally forgettable. Seriously, the snacks were the only worthwhile thing!

War 1 was renowned for its tight and gripping screenplay, but War 2 fell short in this regard. As a viewer, I found myself bored throughout most of the movie's runtime. While there were a few action-packed scenes, they lacked the intensity of letting the main protagonist take a risk and lose the fight. Without this element of uncertainty, the fight scenes became predictable and lost their appeal. For instance, one of the leading heroes performed a stunt that was practically impossible, making it clear that it was CGI-rendered, which reduced the movie's believability.

Another issue I had with the movie was its pre-release marketing. The focus was solely on the bikini scene of Kiara Advani, which seemed completely unrelated to the script and felt forced in its inclusion for marketing purposes. This marketing strategy exposed the bias against female actors, who, despite playing the roles of decorated military personnel, were portrayed as mere seductive pool swimmers.

In conclusion, I would recommend waiting for the movie's OTT release instead of watching it in theaters.

How can someone standing at the broken gate of a plane while the plane is flying....what are they drinking while making movie. The movie is full of comic action while makers thinking everything is happening in real world. The action scenes are so bad and so unreal that you just can't see it. Why why why...money wasted.

"War 2" attempts to build upon the action-packed legacy of its predecessor, but it ultimately falls short, coming across as the weakest film in the franchise. While the movie is a feast for the eyes and focuses heavily on cinematic grandeur, it struggles significantly with its narrative, losing its grip on the plot and lacking an engaging screenplay.

The film's visual spectacle is its primary focus. The action sequences are undoubtedly impressive in scale, and the production design is lavish. However, this dedication to grandeur seems to come at the expense of a well-developed and compelling story. The plot feels disjointed, and the screenplay lacks the emotional depth needed to make the high stakes truly resonate with the audience.

The movie's lack of a strong emotional core is particularly noticeable in the background story.

The characters' motivations and backstories are not explored with enough depth, making it difficult to form a genuine connection with them. As a result, the film becomes a series of impressive set pieces without a solid foundation to hold them together.

While the action may be a good distraction, the lack of narrative engagement and emotional depth makes "War 2" a less satisfying experience than the first film. It's a visually appealing movie, but one that leaves you feeling unfulfilled.

I just got back from seeing it. Overall, I like it

I'll go over what I like first: Hrithik Roshan is cool , likeable, credible, and charismatic. I couldn't picture another actor in his role. I also like the supporting cast members, like Anil Kapoor, NTR, Kiara, and others. The action scenes are, in many cases, well-done. The best scene is the opening scene involving a samurai sword fight; it kinda reminded me of a clip from the John Wick franchise. The airplane scene later on is also thrilling . I'm not usually a fan of the songs in Bollywood movies, but I like the one with Hrithik and NTR

No spoilers - but the movie uses some flashbacks to flesh out Hrithik and NTR's characters. The young actors who play the younger version of their characters look the part. The casting was well done here.

The movie has the following issues: though I like the action scenes most of the time, I didn't like the music blaring in the background. The slow motion works most of the time, but on a few occasions, the effect is cheesy. Some of the characters perform feats that push the movie into Marvel / DC comic book territory; it's as if Hrithik and NTR both had doses of super-soldier serum. Some parts are almost comedy. In the finale, we get a fight scene that occurs in a place that looks like Superman's fortress. In another scene, Hrithik and one of the supporting cast members are getting shot at by many henchman in a parking lot, yet they're able to stand behind a pillar and talk like they're in a cafe

The romance between Hrithik and Kiara wasn't right. They make clear that her father was like a father to Hrithik since Hrithik was a boy. I feel that their relationship should've been more like siblings than husband/wife. It's as if the film just felt that they had to insert a romance subplot somewhere, so they jammed this one

Still - I really enjoyed this one. I'm glad I went to the theaters to see it. I think it's better than the first War movie

8.5/10.
