Fung wan II

Recently seen this film on DVD and to tell you the truth this movie is superb in terms of visuals and martial arts choreography.But story wise,I find this a bit of a let down.Being no fan of the original comic books or the previous feature film(which happens to have the same lead actors),I kinda expect it to deliver more than what I have seen the trailers.Despite the film's bad script and simple execution,I still personally enjoyed watching this movie due to its unique visual feasts(yes, the spectacular fight scenes especially during the films climax) and over the top production which is similar or equivalent to Hollywood productions.Go and see it only if you are a martial arts and love fantasy cum action films!If you are the type who loves watching serious and good movies, I suggest you give this movie a miss.

I waited years for this sequel and I finally got it and I am so disappointed. It was basically 300: the martial arts movie. It was so loaded with cgi from backgrounds to character animations. it had a weak story that wasn't endearing like the first, and it was missing the action of the first movie as well as some of the more interesting 'powers'.

the original had the feel of a video game come to life and done very well. This one was like the goth version. it was dark, disjointed and didn't flow the way it should have.

what can I say? the reviewers before me pretty much nailed it and I hate to repeat. So there it is. the third movie is coming, I hope it is better than this one!

First of all, let me say that I am a fan of the comic book series and really enjoyed the first Storm Riders movie. I can only say that this movie is an embarrassment. If I put myself in the shoes of someone who has never seen or heard of the comic book, I would be completely lost as to what was going on. It is an understatement to say that the storyline is underdeveloped and that there is little character development. I also did not feel that the special effects were up to the standard for the year 2009. If you are a bit brain-dead and not looking to think at all, this movie might be right for you because there is little point in trying to follow any kind of plot and you could just sit there and stare at lots of pretty colours, but even so, I would think there are better things you can watch. I was constantly looking at my watch hoping the pain would end and the $10 cheap tuesday ticket price i paid to watch this could have been better spent too. The female characters in the movie were of no importance, and Nicholas Tse's character was quite pointless too - maybe he will be back in a yet another horrible sequel which will go for special effects over an engaging plot.

In summary, possibly one of the worst movies of all time, because its hard enjoy the special effects and to care for the characters and their battles when you have no reason sympathize with any of them due to the fact that there is absolutely no storyline.

The long-awaited sequel to Storm Riders is finally here. The Pang Brothers take the directing chair and turn the sequel into an action-packed filled with CGI effects. The CGI is touted as the best CGI in Chinese movies but it cannot be compared with big budget Hollywood movies. The special effects are incredible as not seen in Chinese movies.

The story: The action starts straight from the first scene. It shows Cloud and Wind not being able to defeat the powerful warlord and flee the scene. They then are trained in different ways. Cloud is taught by Nameless and Wind takes the evil way. With its fast pace, it brings you from one action scene to another without much drag. The special effects increasingly get better and by the time it comes to the last battle, the special effects are at best. With its epic score, it manages to suck me into the fantasy world. Yes, there is a downside since this is a non-stop action movie, its story is kept simple and there are even not much characters' developments.

Overall: If you are willing to watch a heavy CGI movie with no story and just be awed at the action scenes combined with CGI, you would probably enjoy this movie. If you are concerned about characters' developments, it is not for you. This movie is only for the fans or someone who wants to watch non-stop action filled with CGI with no story. There should be a part three and hopefully, every thing is in it with be amazing even its story.

Hi people Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all. I wrote another comment in the discussion user board it has some spoilers so if you want to read it go ahead. First to discuss is I did not watch pang brothers movie even If I did I would not know and I did not watch part one of Fung wan. But I did hear lots of good comments for the first movie.

Overall I did not enjoy the movie it just sucked the enjoyment of movie right out of me within 30 minutes. Even if you treat me to watch this movie again I would not watch it I would rather watch Good Burger again.

The movie has no dialog 1/3 of the time, I did not understand what is going on and really most of the movie did not make sense. Maybe their target audience was comic fans but even my friend who watched part one and read the comics said it was bad. If I could take back the time I watched the movie I would. I would not want to talk too much because I really commented a lot on the discussion board and my eyes are starting to hurt.

The only good point about this movie is the effects are cool and the music is nice but there is just too much music. It was everywhere. If I can convince you not to watch it I did the world a favor.

I rather they give the money they use to make this movie to a 3rd world county that needed the money for basic food and water.

I rate this movie 0/5 really I give this film nothing.

If you (the movie) did not even have normal dialog in this movie to make me, a common audience understand what is going on. All the special effects in the world cannot save you (the movie). Really I think I would count the number of lines each person said. And the movie really really makes no sense half the time.

Even for a bad film like good burger I would give it half a point for having Abe Vigoda in the movie. Oh if you do not know who he is he was in Godfather.

I just put my point of view and what I think. If you still want to watch this movie go ahead. It has cool effects and good music. But storyline don't count on it. But I would rather wait for the DVD to be out buy it together with my friends and pass it around to watch. Just one DVD.

Just like Forbidden kingdom and dragon ball, wasted money.. all of them the money could have fed hundreds of starving children.
