Review of Swordsman II

This is a nifty little martial arts film, that has some great supernatural elements, with a good story and solid fight scenes!. All the characters are cool, and extremely likable, plus Jet Li is simply amazing in this!. It was cool to see Jet in a different type of film, and I thought the fight choreography was just great, plus it's very bloody and violent as well. It's very well made and written and I thought Brigitte Lin was quite menacing as the main villain, plus while I thought Yee Kwan Yan was a bit too OTT as the psycho Master Wu,but he still gave me the creeps especially near the end!. Jet and Michelle Reis had great chemistry together once more, and I thought Jet's obsession with his wine bottle was quite funny, however the dubbing was bad as usual. This deserves it's 7.4 rating, and I thought the ending was really cool, plus Rosamund Kwan had a great and very mysterious character!. The final fight is extremely good, and it had some cool emotional moments as well, plus I loved Wu's evil laugh!. This is a nifty little martial arts film that has some great supernatural elements, with a good story and solid fight scenes, I highly recommend this one!. The Direction is great. Siu-Tung Ching and Stanley Tong both do a great job here with very good camera work, excellent angles and keeping the film at a very fast pace. The Acting is very good!. Jet Li is amazing as always and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, funny, had a great sense of humor as always, had plenty of charisma, kicked that ass, it's just too bad his dubbing sucked, his chemistry with Reis was also on! (Jet Rules!!!!!). Brigitte Lin is great as the evil Asia, she was quite sexy and was wonderfully evil, she played the perfect villain, I loved her!. Michelle Reis is extremely cute, and does the same sort of thing worked so well in Legend 1&2, she's wonderfully perky and just plain adorable!. Rosamund Kwan is very classy and played a cool part here, I liked her lots. Yee Kwan Yan is a bit too OTT at times, but he still gave me the creeps, as he was quite menacing as Master Wu, I also loved his evil laugh!. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall I highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5 almost a (****).
