I don't know what I just watched... Hardly any dialogue LOL
And if you are going to say that the fighting is awesome, it is but it is soooo darn confusing... Especially the mental state part.... Raining then snowing then a mountain pops up from nowhere....

Oh and ending was literally a cliffhanger....

haha thats what my friend told me.But if you're Fung Wan fans, you might eager to punch him since he also keep mocking the Fung Wan's author coz he is a fan of Dragon Tiger Gate's author Tony Wong.He said that Dragon Tiger Gate>Fung Wan in both movies and comics.

indeed the plot kinda short. and the fight imo not kungfu but actaully based on magic powers/swordsman skill lei lols.. i guess u need to read the storybooks -.-

they said it's not a direct sequel. so its like 70 to 80% percent true to the manga story but 20% is a bit twisted.
the skills they used are actually as seen in Fung Wan manhwa/manga.
ADD : Might buy the DVD again to watch.  icon_rolleyes.gif

apparently it is very long story about how they were captured.. got Kim San and Sword Emperor.. then juet mou san comes... there is reason for them to skip.. unless u wanna add another hour of that..

As was mentioned earlier, the CGI was superb. But the slow-motion effects was so overused until it became annoying. One thing that bothers me is that the scenes switches to another too quickly (especially during the first half) and often. Like it was badly edited.
The climax also drags for too long.

the fighting careography is lame  whistling.gif

dont feel like kungfu at all

I agree with you. I don't know why they have to shoot the fighting choreography focus on one part of the body like legs, head and a lot of fast editing flashing during cloud and wind duel.

This might be due to the director style or the director lack of experience to shoot fighting scene.

QUOTE(andrienne @ Dec 11 2009, 03:50 PM)
I think in a way, they are making the chereography for the kungfu as close to the comic itself as possible, thus the slow...it sorta like 'copy paste' from the comic to the movie...

But nevertheless, not worth it for the storyline but graphics ok.
*
The special effect is ok but overused. They should not use special effect for the background. Some of the background is understandable but all of it is a no no. The most obvious is heartless lead his army to conquer other kungfu clans. I wish they can totally cut that scene away.

The most important things is that if they want to do a sequel next time, change the director. The director didn't make any effort to understand the character. Example, Wind special move is his kick, he can move as fast as the wind and etc. The director also fail to bring any emotion and the behavior of the character, even the dialog is paper thin and weak.

I know this is a comic based movie, but it must have a balance of plot/story, character building, entertainment, special effects and etc.

The first storm rider is much more better.

Watched it just now at GSC Alamanda ... yes very dissapointing indeed.

I was playing Ninja Blade the entire week and was waiting to press a button whenever the slow motion scene kicks in. =_=

Also, LOL'd hard at the cliff scene where Chu Chu barged in and asked what happened to Cloud. omg that is like, the most stupid dialogue in the entire movie. laugh.gif

i'm so dissappointed wif this sequel... 11years of wait and they give me this crap... shakehead.gif

seriously... why the hell everything so CGI-ed..?? i mean the fighting part ok la coz we all know its comic.. but even the scenery?? totally unlike the first one where they did put on effort to look for suitable places and blended it wif CGI... but this one.. totally filmed in studio doh.gif

all the actor and actress scripts were so stupid and annoying... whole movie was like less than 300 words i think... grumble.gif

and wtf wif Lord Godless died so easily??!! omg.. he's one tough villain and he got more tricks up his sleeve even wif his Golden Body Armor broken...

and they focus too much on Ekin's devil form until the final battle felt so draggy... they even curi idea of mind battle from Hero!!

oh my God~ and if there's any chance of me meeting wif Pang's brothers i'm gonna fark him up for ruining this movie so badly...

the slow-mos are even more worse... it should be use only at the right time, not over done them wif every move they execute... vmad.gif

totally ruined my night wif this crappy show... i rather rewatch the Storm Riders rather than this junk...

i vowed not to watch Pang brother's movie anymore... the only good movie they ever made was The Eye, and no more than that... i should have know it since Recycle that they directed... horror movies wif CGI?? WTF?? mad.gif

dun waste ur money on this... seriously this year end's blockbuster all sucks like hell... i can only pray to God that Sherlock Holmes and Bodyguards and Assassin dun give me anymore more dissappointment... notworthy.gif
