Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

siderite This was always a single movie, they just released it in two parts. But while the first part went quickly over the events that set up the arrival of the aliens and presented the main characters, thus compressing a lot of the original manga/anime story, this part loses the pace and gets to have a few boring scenes. They are mostly flashbacks and emotional explanations of what the characters felt (even if it was quite obvious from their actions and they were dying :) ), but still, a little jarring. I think a better edit of the material would have created a nice two hours and a half single movie that didn't suffer from pacing issues. That being said, the movie ends well, with too little of Gotou, one of the more interesting characters in the story, but with great development for all the others. Maybe except Satomi Murano, who was always the damsel in distress and not doing very much. I recommend this movie to sci fi fans from all over. While the philosophical speeches increase in number in this part, I still think Parasyte is a good sci-fi horror movie that needs more recognition.

Platypuschow I still haven't gotten around to watching the Parasyte anime, I hear mixed things. I did however watch the first Parasyte live action film and found myself entertained, it was good stuff.The sequel following directly on is more of the same but lacked the novelty value of the first and I found myself rather disappointed by it.Full of frantic fast paced actions sequences, a continuation of the originals plot and decent sfx I'm not saying it's bad by any means I'm simply saying it's underwhelming as a sequel.Maybe this is a travesty compared to the anime like the live action Attack On Titan movies were, maybe the live action is better alike Assassination Classroom. Time will tell, but I'm not upset there are no more Parasyte movies after this one.The Good: Follows on from the first film Looks great The Bad:Messy plot I still think Migi looks ridiculous Things I Learnt From This Movie: If a mothers last wish is that you take care of her baby, seconds after she dies dump it on the first person you seeTeenage boy with a creature for a right hand, there are so many questions/jokes here I wouldn't even know where to start

blackmamba99971 This was a wonderful conclusion to the genre. Shinichi who finally realized his role as the bridge between species has been freed. Migi who relied on his humanity to understand of what it is to be human gave his host that drive to continue on without him. Between his new found freedom was also the enforcer who only wanted his people to rule our world without humans to bar their way. Except the only person who started to feel any emotion was his commander Takiyama. Birthing a son using a human body gave Takiyama the notion that not all of their instincts contained the lust to kill.Experimenting on her own so that she could realize just how important life really is also freed her from the confines of their brutal instincts. Knowing full well that she, and her own people could break the bonds of their past, and move on co-existing within society meant more to her, than her own life and she proved it by sacrificing her own life to protect her child.This was a great ending to one of the most successful series to come out of Japan. Parasyte created a new avenue to the human condition that not all creatures in this vast universe succumbs to basic instincts to exist although some in this film stuck to that emotional baggage not being able to let go of the past. Evolution always wins no matter how technologically advanced or how rudimentary flawed the race is. Shinichi along with Migi helped stop the needless violence, and carnage Takiyama sought for. Wonderful music, action, effects, and talented actors all around.The plot, theme and flavor left me quite satisfied as far as the tale unfolded just like the television series did in anime form. It was a fantastic adaptation from beginning with the first movie to the second and opened up to a possible third instalment. Maybe. For now any fan who watches the series will enjoy these films. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommended for anime fans alike. Not advisable for those under the age of seventeen. Very graphic, and gory.

tenshi_ippikiookami The ending of "Parasyte" left a lot of questions to be answered. This second part tries to give some answers and, even if it falls short in some departments, gives a satisfying conclusion to the story of Shin'ichi.The story left with the Parasytes still being much of a threat, and humans just starting to discover how to fight them. Shin'ichi and Migi are doing their part, at the same time that he tries to keep his relationship with Satomi. Tamiya is trying to discover if Parasytes can live with humans, and sees Shin'ichi as the last chance for both worlds to co-exist. But some of the Parasytes think humans just should be food...The movie is a little bit slow in parts, and over convoluted. There are some parts that could have been taken out, as the unnecessary coda at the end. However, part of it is because it tries to be true to the original, a manga that run for 10 volumes some years ago, and that also suffered from stretching the story a little bit. It could have had a better pace if it hadn't tried to fit so much from the manga's plot in the movie.However, as a look into what makes humans humans, and how to accept difference, the fears and dangers we all feel, the solitude of being different... "Parasyte 2" does a good enough job, and keeps things entertaining till the end.
