GENERAL QUIP:

I'm back with my almost end of the year movie and TV quips and musings. With how lackluster TV has been, my pickings have been very slim, and my selection for reviews has been even slimmer. So for this quick quip, I've put two K-Movies that I chose to watch due to the buzzworthy hype and previous year hype that I had been privy to before their releases in the US. Now, I have a MAJOR love for fantasy and action. Put it together with things adapted from comics and anime, then give me a banging or interesting trailer, and then you've got me. Both of these movies got me via the trailers, and again, the talk about them. Let me get to my reviews.

I will be doing my holiday reviews soon. Keep a lookout. 🎄

Note: I watched each movie with English subs, no dubs.

HI-FIVE SUMMINATION:  Five ordinary people, who developed their superpowers after receiving organ transplants from a previously superpowered being, band together to fight against a similar foe.

[🏆Fave 2025 K-Drama Watch] 

HIGH FIVE QUIP: Let me share with you how this movie had me scouring the net to see it once I saw the trailer, and due to several of my favorite K-actors being in it, it did NOT disappoint. Step into an alt-world where the extraordinary occurs. What would you do if you end up one day having a life-saving procedure and end up with superpowers? This movie was absolutely fun, action-packed, hilarious, and unserious all at the same time. I am so glad that it finally got its well-deserved release. There are some K-drama BTS issues related to its late release due to one of the formerly popular K-actors in the crew (He's a fave: Yoo Ah-in ), and, sadly, it had to sit for a bit and miss out on a proper global theatrical release, because again, this was not a disappointing movie. Every actor shone in their role, including my other fave secondary character (who I call the 'homie': Oh Jung-se), who is related to one of the main crew of this film.

I learned that this movie has won 2 awards and has been nominated for more!

Check out this fun film, enjoy the bombasticness of it, and the wild Western-centric soundtrack.

RATING: 4 1/2 out of 5  Fists & Rick Rolls. 🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽💥

HI-FIVE TRAILER: Enjoy this favorite scene of mine from the film'HI-FIVE' which includes my fave 2ndary actor.  😆

OMINISCIENT READER SUMMINATION: Based on the popular manhwa & webtoon, Dokja's favorite novel comes ominously true; using his intricate knowledge of the impending apocalyptic story, the office worker changes destiny.

OMINISCIENT QUIP: So, Omni Reader...I came in having no idea of the manhwa or webtoon, but I had heard talks about the movie and how loved the IP was. Being a fan of the ML's (Ahn Hyo-seop & Lee Min-ho) and SML (🐢Shin Seung-ho) of the movie, and seeing the trailer, it gained my interest so I checked it out. This one, was one of those movies that you could immediately tell that it was a cash-grab adaptation. I followed the production info before it dropped and heard about the issues this one also had BTS, and with watching it...you could visibly see the issues. What could have been a strong start in a long movie franchise kind of fell short, and if the talk about how good the manhwa and webtoon were, might have slightly made me not want to look into them if I wasn't how I was. Because of this movie's SFX, I felt like the production crew went on strike in the middle of making a video game, I grew curious about finding out the story of the manhwa/webtoon itself. I feel bad for the stars of the movie. I loved every actor in it. I understood what was trying to be conveyed, but it felt messy in production and direction. So, with that, enjoy it for the action, the basis of the original IP, but understand that it's remixed (not adapted) from the original IP. 

RATING: 3 out of 5 game controllers 🎮🎮🎮
