Okay, so I found the original film of a bunch of immortal mercenary warriors actually enjoyable, so when Netflix released the sequel, me and Noshi sat down to have a look.
After all, brainless entertainment was welcome at the end of the holiday season and to many busy evenings...
And it begins with the introduction of Quyhn, another immortal and seemingly love intrest of Andromache. Who, like every lover after 500 years, kind off forgot about her and just moved on instead of combing the seabed. And Booker is also brought back, keeping up our Belgian pride. Even more immortals join the fray, with Tuah, a sage and who saved Andromache when Quyhn was tossed into the sea. Inside an Iron Maiden just to keep her down.
But of course, the lover has an issue with Andy now, and decided to work together with Discord. A mortal now, it turns out that Nile can remove people's immortality when wounding them, and that is what happened to Andy. Luckily, another seemingly can pass his immortality willingly to another immortal, and Booker does this. Which gives me a loop issue: if when Nile wounds someone, which Booker tried out, and so removes their immortality, then how can he pass it to Andromache a short while later while his wounds don't heal????
When they go to stop Discord in a nuclear plant, Booker, now a mortal, sacrifices himself for Andy, who finds an injured Quyhn after a fight with Nile. Nile and others have been captured by Discord, who wants to reinstate her immortality through Nile's powers, while Andy and her lover reconsile and set out to free them...
... and there it ends. No third movie so far has been confirmed (luckily Matthias is busy getting his driver's license back, bit of a celebrity scandal here in Belgium as he drove without a permit, and Booker is dead now), so no idea if we ever going to learn if they succeed.
Was it fun brainless entertainment? Definitly! Was it as fun as the first one? Definitly not!
