“This movie quite surprised me. Not only because itu0026#39;s such a great one but because I liked it even better than its predecessor u0026quot;Da zui xiau0026quot; as well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Da zui xiau0026quot; was already a surprising good movie, that besides was a genre defining one. It was one of the first u0026#39;modernu0026#39; Kung Fu movies, with plenty of sword fights and action in it. But this is perhaps why I liked this sequel better; itu0026#39;s even more action filled! Not only does the movie feature some amazing and spectacular fight choreography in it but itu0026#39;s made even more spectacular and amazing thanks to the way it got shot. It has some absolutely wonderful cinematography in it, especially during all of its fight scenes. I also quite liked the hand-held camera-work during some of the sword-fights. Iu0026#39;m not too sure about but I believe that this is something I have never seen before in a genre movie like this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBecause the movie is so action packed, it becomes a truly entertaining one to watch, with a pleasant fast pace to it as well. The story still finds some room to throw in a love-story as well but it does this in a quite original way. Itu0026#39;s a sort of love triangle love-story that plays out nicely for its story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe character played by Pei-pei Cheng gets pushed somewhat more to the background this time but itu0026#39;s OK, since the movie brings in a lot of more awesome characters to replace her with. What I like about the characteru0026#39;s is that youu0026#39;re constantly changing your opinions about them. Some of them start out as villains, who eventually turn out to be good guys after all.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s not featuring a that complicated or well written story but itu0026#39;s serving its purpose well for the movie. It takes the movie to lots of beautiful looking places, where we meet all kinds of awesome characters, who often get into a fight with each other. Seriously, I canu0026#39;t see how someone could not like this movie, even when you arenu0026#39;t very familiar with the genre yet. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s simple entertainment but oh so well made and brought to the screen! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e9/10 u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ehttp://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/”
