This movie is the third collabaration of Ali Atay as the director, Feyyaz Yigit and Aziz Kedi as main writers with Atay contributing.
So the formula is quite simple. Aimless conversations, discussions and quarrel in absurd situations throughout the series of events in the movie. This approach was quite refreshing the first time in the first movie and it was backed up by energetic performance of the whole cast. I think that was the main reason for the success of the first film.
Other works by Yigit and Kedi preferred a more laid back tempo with slow-burning comedy. Cinayet Süsü was not exactly bad and Gibi has its own fandom. I did not exactly watch Gibi but i see scenes from it everywhere and i think its success comes from the freedom to introduce a variety of new absurd situations which is supported by the concept of the show. Being unable to introduce new elements to an already established setting (from a prequel) and failing to expand or grow upon this setting were the main reasons why Ölümlü Dünya 2 did not exactly work. The jokes intended as running gags felt rather like repetition and the action was trimmed down to 1 good (bodyguard chasing Serbes and ilhami chasing the bodyguard) and 1 great (airport) sequence. Altinok's addition to the crew was exciting but did not deliver well (that man is much funnier in my opinion).
So... I was a little disappointed that the crew did not give much thought to the sequel, maybe it is because of the ongoing projects, i dunno.
