2 Billion dollars.....wasted
"Ne Zha 2" arrived with high expectations, but ultimately proves to be a visually inconsistent and narratively weak animated film that struggles to live up to its predecessor.
While the animation offers moments of fluid action and grand spectacle, it's severely hampered by a striking lack of detail and texture. Character designs are also quite terrible, often appearing simplistic and lacking nuanced rendering. The world itself moves well, but feels largely underdeveloped.
The plot is predictably formulaic, offering few surprises. The characters, including Ne Zha himself, are largely unlikable, lame, and one-dimensional, making it hard to connect with their journey.
Action sequences are unremarkable, with a particular low point being Ne Zha's cringe-worthy, derivative "Super Saiyan" transformation. The humor is atrocious and low-brow, constantly falling flat and turning even serious moments into a farce. This, coupled with the main villain's poorly executed reveal, reduces the antagonists to jokes, stripping the film of any real threat or dramatic weight.
Ultimately, "Ne Zha 2" feels significantly overrated. Its predictable story, unlikable characters, flat villains, and terrible humor, along with forgettable music, make it a disappointing watch. For an immersive and well-crafted animated experience, "Ne Zha 2" misses the mark.
