Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
这个续集的故事有点硬上马的感觉，好在剧作技巧没落下，虽然群像人物远不如上一部精彩，但人物塑造上存在的问题，编剧最后也知道去修补，整体上还是一个让人愉快的故事，最后科幻音乐剧的视觉效果更是加分不少。
中规中矩～没啥惊喜～欧美热歌大集合了这是～
其实总是有选择的，只是我们从没勇气去做出对的选择。
i still haven't found what im looking for好听的 night cleaners那群小猴子也好可爱
一眼望到头的剧本，透着一个“我们有钱买版权，很多，版权”
典型为了续集而续集，好莱坞太省编剧了，口水歌好听悦耳真享受。
我还在猜想，他们最终决定放弃这场太空歌剧，转而利用现有道具编排出一场临时的音乐剧，看来我还是想得太多了。
音乐和美术设计一流。可惜理念还是老一套：孔武有力者胜。嗐。
剧情就不说了，但以一部音乐剧作为大前提，口水歌的堆砌是绝对败笔的。去年也接触了不少音乐剧，个人以为既然把其作为背景那就至少要为之找到合适的内容去填充。
前作的魔力在于人们依托舞台、梦想和开口唱歌这一动作超脱生活中平凡的自我，所以家庭主妇Rosita穿上华服劲舞，卑微少女Ash开口主导摇滚，社恐大象Meena闭上眼发出一个音节……这些种种才那么动人，这不就是我们在选秀节目，在流行音乐中寻求的力量吗？
Gunter的德国口音太逗，独爱Clay和Johnny线，很喜欢Clay影射U2主唱Bono的设定（而且竟然配音是Bono本人…）。没有爵士白鼠有点可惜。续作难拍，尤其本部基本没有原创歌曲，看得出制作团队想要求稳(快)，但好在的确很大程度上延续了第一部在立意和叙事上的精神设定。
撇去剧情老套俗气不算
传统的合家欢电影，没有第一部那么感人，歌也不怎么好听
跟第一部比还是有差距，可以说是排行榜流行歌曲堆出来的一部片，人物的感情可以说完全被去掉了，剩下的都是各种形式化的东西。
我觉得男人的友情，是要经过时间沉淀的，当两人再次相遇时，金徐两人的对话，就是成长的代价，虽然彼此都未说破，但结合真实历史，金徐二人所开创的历史如今也是不可磨灭的一点璀璨历程。
10月起看了21部院线新片，还是动画片好看，动画片是我最后的避风港。
好笑的点太多了很欢乐啊！此处辣菜强行正能量的魔法满屋。
獅王為啥聽了首歌就出山了？為啥小狼哭泣之後被蜥蜴秘書一喊就肯過來演出了？算了聽歌就完事了，別在意情節。最後的大秀還真的挺好看的。而且我特別喜歡小狼porsha和一群眼鏡猴的踢踏舞。
这么多歌奇怪的是没一首有感觉的，我对英语歌也不至于免疫啊，今天观影体验有点费解，场景倒是满意。
故事还行，但是整体呈现不如第一部，也不如第一部那么惊艳了，不过感染力还是很足的。
