The movie follows a band of legendary warriors as they protect a 400-year-old sword known as 'The Green Destiny.' It tells the story of lost love, young love, a legendary sword and one last opportunity at redemption.
By the climax, the action has been reduced to interminable sequences of people banging their swords together and occasionally being ejaculated into the air like digital snowflakes.
It's true that not many were pleading for a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sequel, especially one that arrived about 15 years too late, but they made one anyway, bless them.
The sequel is directed by Yuen Woo-Ping, who choreographed the fight scenes in the original... he's not as prestigious as Lee, and has fewer awards, but the man knows his kung fu.
A painful sequel that disappoints all lovers of the original because of the remarkable quality drop between them, it had a very interesting proposal but failed miserably. [Full review in Spanish]
This martial-arts mediocrity has airborne warriors aplenty but remains a dispiritingly leaden affair with its mechanical storytelling, purely functional action sequences and clunky English-language performances.
