Ne Zha 2

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to China's new all-time cinematic box office champion (top 10 worldwide as I write) with a staggering $1.6 billion generated mostly from Chinese theaters within a span of 17 days and still rising as it reaches international audiences, Ne Zha 2. As overhyped as I was before watching the movie due to the milestone it signifies, I was still pleasantly not disappointed.

My biggest complaint it that the film gives too much of everything: too much comedy, too much suspense, and too much action that we rarely have time for substantive emotional development. Besides that, the movie is a roller coaster of heightened emotion that free falls nonstop through toe-clenching fight sequences, mesmerizing world building, and countless intricate and diversely driven characters. Individualistic heroism proves very much futile in this society of hidden rules and unspoken bigotry, as every being lives to avenge their own justice. Thus the world of Ne Zha is horrifyingly realistic and incredibly engaging.

The aesthetics of the film also stands apart, taking modern adaptations of classical characters, designs, costumes, settings, and stories overall. Fusion of kung-fu and naturalistic sceneries with anime-like choreographs and cinematic shots makes the combat sequences truly blood-boiling. Based on videos I watched analyzing the movie's artistry, the amount of attention to detail the production gives in portraying the traditional artifacts, needlework, and weaponeering is impeccable.

Overall, Ne Zha 2 represents more than an outstanding animation and more than an industrial miracle.

Just came back from AMC. The movie was awesome. Loved everything, the fighting, the visual, the plot and the funny scenes. Most importantly, loved the key message the movie is trying to deliver - good or bad (immortal vs demon) is not defined by the establishment. You define yourself and control your own destiny,never surrender to the oppression of the establishment.

I had no plan to watch any Chinese films released during the Spring Festival period this year at first, but one of my friends invited me to watch this film. So I was finally in the cinema. When asked what did I expect the film to bring to me by my friend, I said, no, no expectation of a normal Chinese movie at all. However it turned out that this film went beyond my wildest expectation.

A film may be called a good film if it contains a part that it did a great job in, and a film is marvelous if it did everything perfectly, which is the case of Ne Zha 2. This film not only told a good story, it also told the story well.

The story developed in a reasonable way, and I like the way it presents a surprising twist, because you would be reminded of a previous scene that hinted at the twist when there is a twist.

What's more, as a man who used blender to creat some short videos before, I can tell that this film also did a great job in its visual effects. It perfectly delt scenes with a large amount of people, and the way different characters move when having a combat in the air broke the mindset of horizontal movement. Other special effects are great too.

To sum up, this is a wonderful piece of art.

The first time to go to cinema for us is to watch "Ne Zha 2" !A landmark in animated movie, offering a visually stunning, emotionally resonant, and culturally rich experience. Its use of new technology in fights and deep emotional narratives ensures everyone can find something to be moved by, making it a must-watch for animation enthusiasts and a testament to the global rise of Chinese filmmaking. The fight sequences are choreographed with precision, featuring dynamic camera work and creative staging. Specific scenes, like the third trial where Ne Zha faces challenges alone, showcase martial arts blended with supernatural abilities, rendered in the distinctive ink-wash style.

As a remarkable sequel in domestic animation, Ne Zha 2 makes a powerful comeback, reigniting the passionate enthusiasm in the hearts of the audience once again, pulling the audience back into the fantastical and adventurous world of Fengshen.

Compared with its predecessor, this time the picture precision has achieved a qualitative leap. The underwater Dragon Palace is like a dreamy fairyland, where the gorgeous corals sway gracefully and mysterious lights and shadows shuttle through. Every detail can withstand scrutiny as if under a magnifying glass. The fighting scenes are truly outstanding. The clashes between Ne Zha and the villains are full of sparks, with dazzling skill special effects. Between the changes of light and shadow, power and beauty are perfectly integrated. Paired with the ear - shattering sound effects, it makes the audience feel as if they are right there on the scene, immersed in this thrilling battle between good and evil.

The character also reaches new heights. Ne Zha has shed some of his recklessness and gained more calmness and firmness after growing up. The look in his eyes when facing difficulties reveals his unyielding struggle against the injustice of fate, and that youthful spirit becomes even stronger. The newly introduced characters are equally brilliant. They create unique sparks when interacting with Ne Zha. Some become close friends and fight side by side with him, while others turn into sworn enemies and oppose him head - on. The relationships among the characters are complex yet well - organized, adding many wonderful foreshadowings to the story.

Moreover, the spiritual core of the film remains profoundly moving. While continuing the theme of Ne Zha's defiance against fate, it further delves into the power of family affection and friendship, showing the struggles and growth of an individual within a community. When Ne Zha throws his fist at the predetermined fate once again to protect his beloved relatives and friends, that shocking power strikes straight to the depths of the soul, making the audience couldn't help but be deeply touched.

Ne Zha 2 uses stunning audio - visual effects, well - rounded characters, and profound connotations to write a glorious chapter for domestic animation. Undoubtedly, it is a must - see visual feast that is worthy of the audience's repeated appreciation. We look forward to its subsequent works that can unfold an even more magnificent Fengshen legend.
