Magic bubbles are a fascinating and enchanting wonder that can often be seen near the sea. These sparkling orbs of translucent color appear to dance on the surface of the water, captivating the attention of onlookers and creating a magical atmosphere. The creation of magic bubbles near the sea is a natural phenomenon caused by specific environmental conditions. One of the key factors is the presence of organic matter in the water, which can come from various sources such as algae, seaweed, or decomposing marine life. This organic matter releases gases, including methane, which is trapped within the water. When waves crash against the shore, they agitate the water, causing the trapped gases to escape and form bubbles.
From pulling doors off cars to knife fights that don’t miss and giant storms of rocks that rip bodies apart, there is nothing small about the action-packed into The Witch 2. There is no subtlety or nuance, just larger and larger sequences that don’t stop building on each other. The center of the bulk of these fights is Jo-hyeon (Seo Eun-soo) the head officer of the agency tasked by the leaders of the Witch Program to capture the girl. She’s unyielding, angry, and capable of singlehandedly decimating an entire facility on her own. With heightened strength and speed, Jo-hyeon is a force on screen and manages to carry herself with an authority that matches the share physical space her well-over 6’3″ English-speaking partner.
Cloning, assassination, lots of blood, The Witch 2 is centered around the girl that brings multiple agencies with different motives together in a final act. The theme of the movie is that people who have more power than others are violent monsters so I think conveying queasiness of violence is important but CGI should have been more polished to make that work.
When waves crash against the shore, they agitate the water, causing the trapped gases to escape and form bubbles. These bubbles rise to the surface and create a stunning display of shimmering colors, as sunlight reflects off their iridescent surfaces. The size and shape of the bubbles can vary, with some being small and round, while others may be larger and elongated.
The Witch Part 2: The Other One is underwhelming.
I really respect Park Hoon-Jung making this movie despite many hardships such as having to quickly rewrite the script and having less budget than he was going to for the sequel because of pandemic and Warner Bros. Korea which produced the first one shutting down. I admire his passion for telling this slightly unconventional, dark, edgy, and violent superhero story with female protagonists. (I was pretty disappointed with the industry when I heard Park had a hard time getting the first one funded because it had a girl as the protagonist.) However, the movie is still disappointing.
The first one was an awkward start of the franchise. It was mostly ok until the movie tries to convince you that the protagonist isn't a monster anymore because she doesn't kill anything that walks anymore with a boring exposition. It was interesting to talk about because it was pretty weird and misanthropic. It's bold enough to suggest that superpower is a product of nazi science and US could acquire the technology through Operation Paperclip.
Screenwriting is bad. It has the worst tendencies of Marvel movies yet it's so lore brained that the structure is a mess. Comedic scenes and exposition scenes try to communicate the characters but it's done in such a clunky way and they tend to be too long. I despised cutesy humor that belong in movies like Edward Scissorhands. It was so predictable and didn't fit with the film language and the tone. I don't understand why you would try to make the protagonist 'likable' with cutesy bullshit when the protagonist behaves like Michael Myers or Jason Vorhees with superpower for the rest of the movie. Dialogue is painfully overwrought. You can see the writer desperately trying to make the dialogue sound interesting but it ends of being irritating.
They got way too ambitious with CGI. The theme of the movie is that people who have more power than others are violent monsters so I think conveying queasiness of violence is important but CGI should have been more polished to make that work. Violent scenes that have a lot of CGI don't really land.
Action editing is inexcusable. Action scenes are consisted of 3-4 very well framed shots, 5 bad insert shots, and 4 shots that aren't well framed that aren't inserts with a pace that is impossible to follow. Think of set pieces from Quantum of Solace. It's a shame because you can clearly see that the action scenes could work if they just used good shots. In other words, cinematography was genuinely good enough to make set pieces work but editing ruined them.
I liked the theme of the movie that is 'the more power you have, the more of a monster you are, and you will also be responsible for the horrific death of those with less power'. I love how it rejects power fantasy through pretty nauseous depiction of violence and making power fantasy sequences function as the reason of tragic conclusion.
The best part is when it becomes a mean spirited slasher movie with superpower with sadistic violence. There are two scenes that I really like. One is the protagonist testing out how to subdue an enemy with superpower. The protagonist stabs the enemy with telekinesis multiple times to test out which part to stab to subdue her and breaks her spine and toss her when stabbing doesn't work. I kind of wish she stabbed her until it worked though. The other is the scene where the protagonist keeps breaking a feet of a supervillain so that regeneration ability gets triggered until the side effect reaches the brain of him, which pops his brain and kills him painfully. I think the movie could have been better if there were more violence simply because I like the idea of a superhero movie full of sadistic violence. It still feels too restrained because there are moments where decapitation and head popping are obscured probably to avoid 'adults only' rating.
I will give the movie 3/8. Pretty underwhelming. It's definitely Park's worst movie. I really like where he's going for and love that his superhero franchise is consisted of weird, edgy, and dark entries. I just wish we could get movies like this but good.
Edit: There's also an American character and you can see how much the director wanted Aaron Taylor Johnson in this.

"Magic Bubbles Near Me" was incredibly boring and unengaging. The author failed to create a sense of wonder and excitement surrounding the magic bubbles, which ended up feeling more like a gimmick than a central plot device. The pacing was slow, and I struggled to maintain interest throughout the book. The characters were forgettable and lacked depth, making it difficult to care about their journey. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for an entertaining read.
