The Japanese laugh =) This is the great return of the magnificent mask! What kind of triumphant return is there? All parts of the exploits of Kekko Kamen were limited to one year of release. This is what the director called broke through, like after he used a laxative, and broke the creative flow, in which one movie of another is better in the ascending!
This time, the delightful Kekko Kamen will protect swimmers from an evil follower of the Mangrifon school. It seems to change the perspective and geography of the shooting, and the skeleton of the plot remains the same. And it seems that there is nothing to cling to, but then a kind of friendly atmosphere of team spirit crashes into the situation, which perhaps did not exist in the first two parts, especially in the first. This atmosphere is a great way to save the whole situation.
In addition, “The Delightful Mask: Return” can deserve the title of comedy. Of all the amazing masks, this one turned out to be the funniest and simply banal! If in the first part everything was reduced to wild and just vile perversions, then here the amount of vulgarity decreased in two, replaced by great jokes and just a good atmosphere. Therefore, you should not take this movie seriously, frank cheapness does not spoil it, but on the contrary gives the character of mockery. What can not be said about the works of the film company ASYLUM, in which actors with stone faces go to wet computer graphics, and at the same time pretend that they are filmed by Stephen Sommers or Takashi Miike.
Of the minuses, I would like to note the mockery of the soundtrack, which for two parts was simply genius. I honestly don’t understand why it was distorted, and why this film was stuffed with a modified version of the soundtrack from Pink Panther. Maybe this is another banter, or the composer had a creative crisis.
Again, very little of Kecco Kamen herself, but at least her appearances have become more spectacular, and better staged.
In the end, I can say that the next part about the adventures of a half-naked superhero girl turned out to be better than its predecessors, but alas it did not become something grandiose, in general it is just a good movie, with a good share of humor, and I can put this soulful and comedic banter on you.
