Green Snake

My wife and I were blown away! Without question, this is the highest quality CGI we've ever seen. The characters and settings all looked fantastic. The various kinds of magic were incredibly beautiful. The girls were incredibly cute. I grew up loving books, but increasingly enjoying movies and video games. It is a delight when these bring sights I could not have imagined - and this movie is a great example. Places and characters weird and wonderful, of multiple genres.

Another reviewer felt the writers really love tragedy. This begs two responses. First, this tale wasn't written for this movie. White Snake is a Chinese legend, at least hundreds of years old. This is an adaptation, and the writers took creative license, but the basic story is already set - like any telling of King Arthur, Aladdin, etc. Second, watch the ending more closely, and think about it. This is not actually a tragedy. There is also a post credit scene, which ends the movie quite delightfully.

In short, a fun treat for all sorts of audiences. Especially those who like Chinese legends. But more beautifully brought to screen than any animated film I've seen before. This raised the bar. I can't wait for more!

While designs, clothing, monsters, characters and world building, locations, camera work and action show a lot of care and effort.. the script has bad pacing, boring developments, confusing plot-points and undercooked characters. It's almost NOT worth watching at all. It's just very dumb, with little to tie it in with it's great predecessor. Someone else here compared it to a Transformers movie.. I'd say it's even worse than that. Like a Mila's Resident Evil level of lack of self awareness. And reminded me of the worst parts of Advent Children (any FF7 fan should know).

Might as well watch it without subtitles.. enjoy the craft alone.

What a waste.

Basically what the title says. The animation is superb, the action is breathtaking.

But the overall plot and the setting isn't on the same level of quality as the first movie.

Definitely looking forward to a 3rd one if they decide to make it.

This is such a strange movie, with so many different flowing parts and interesting ideas. While some of these elements don't work well with the story, the parts that do work can be pretty engaging and interesting. At it's worst "White Snake 2: Green Snake" is too weird and doesn't work but at it's best it is pretty engaging and visually stunning. An odd sequel but one worth watching.

Its worth 7/10 for the ideas and its also quite nice to watch. Its worth to pay movie.
