    The story tells that the spirit of cattle and horses is carried forward, and the cattle and horses work hard to learn and improve every day.

    After reading it... Character modelling aside, the plot is really poor, and the most basic logic is absent... This is also one of the few inspirational films that didn't leave me with many memorable points. The male protagonist's pursuit of his dreams is too blunt, trying to prove himself with lion dance and martial arts, rather than loving martial arts to pursue higher skills, which is completely the opposite of inspirational. The pre-motivation of the protagonists is too haphazard, and those who have not practised for a long time come out on top, which is actually very unconvincing. The plot connections are also quite problematic, and the frustrations in the process of practising martial arts are too blunt and merely superficial. The screenwriter's storyboarding, camera work, cutscenes, and character portrayal of martial arts are very shallow and smooth.

    it's 10/10

    Go watch it. Appreciate its pure aesthetics, movements, camera work, artistry, and rhythmic feel. Its plot is simple and straightforward, yet sufficiently reasonable and coherent. It tells a story that is not complicated, and despite its simplicity, it still manages to deliver surprises. The martial arts sequences are eye-opening, and the thrilling scenes are highly tense. Often, I find myself watching particularly impressive shots repeatedly, truly enjoying them. It embodies pure aesthetics. I hope that in the future, friends from outside China will see this movie, and it can become a wonderful portrayal of China's scenery, people, and lifestyle. I am a countryman, and because this movie portrays a very natural lifestyle, I want to show it to my foreign friends and say that this is indeed how we live.

    Best Animation Movie

    I have watched the first movie twice, and now I've completely fallen in love with the second one as well. It's not just a sequel-it's a beautiful continuation that dives even deeper into the themes of friendship, family, and the ups and downs of life. What I love most about this movie is how it reminds us to never give up, no matter how tough things get. It's incredibly inspiring and heartwarming at the same time.

    The characters are so relatable and well-developed, and the emotional moments truly hit home. The animation is absolutely stunning, and the storytelling is powerful-it keeps you engaged from beginning to end. This movie has a special place in my heart, and I'd gladly watch it again and again without ever getting tired of it.

    To me, this is not just a great film-it's the BEST ANIMATED MOVIE ever. It has everything: laughter, tears, hope, and a strong message about resilience and love. If you haven't seen it yet, you're definitely missing out on something truly special.

    Not just a good Martial Arts (animated) movie. But a great movie in general.

    Everyone is gushing over Ne Zha 2 but in my opinion, this is the Chinese animated movie to watch!

    I'll never say no to an animated combat sports movie.

    I Am What I Am 2 showcases a very interesting topic - the reputation that Kung Fu has in the modern day, and it provides a surprisingly introspective view that sympathizes with traditional martial arts but also provides honest criticism as to why its effectiveness in the modern age has waned.

    Although the main character's progression from total novice to pro fighter is laughably quick, let alone his insanely plot convenient iron chin, the movie's focus on combat sports and traditional martial arts are far more universally appealing than lion dancing, so I was hooked throughout, and the movie overall is a great underdog story that, in my opinion, surpasses the first film, despite its apparent low performance at the box office.

    The movie like the first is still really charming and animated exceptionally well, this time without bizarre moments of smelly foot humour. It felt like a large step up from the first film and all three fights are visual treats with real dramatic weight to them.

    It seems the possibility of a sequel is thinning due to, for whatever reason, no one in China going to see this movie. Ridiculous. This is one of the best modern martial arts movies ive seen.

    PERFECT, STUNNING & MOVING!

    Ignore the weird and malicious "1/10 " reviews, this is even better than the first, which was already outstanding. Without giving away the plot, it is a coming of age story, about the underdogs, without the unrealistic feel-good plot, but delivers a satisfying punch to the finish. Gyun is now a toughened young adult, but still bearing the simplicity and indomitable spirit of his rural upbringing. The story is not at all straight-forward, with surprises and twists, and the pacing is perfect. The complexities of the sport, and of urban society, are beautifully expressed and given incredible depth, with richly portrayed characters that draw you in with their individual story arc. I highly recommend watching the first before this, but as a standalone masterpiece this animation is an unforgettable experience that no one should miss. It's one of the best films I have ever watched in recent years!
