"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Qingming"
is not so much a martial arts film that Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 2000 fully caters to the tastes of European and American audiences
. The art piece of the shell.
This sequel is directed by Yuan Baye Yuan Heping, the "No. 1 Martial Artist in the World", and the
action scenes are a major attraction.
When Yuan Ba ​​Ye, who has always been committed to promoting Chinese martial arts films to the world,
encounters Weinstein Films, who only
wants to make money with the super IP of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it is inevitable that there will be many compromises in the film. product.
The righteousness of chivalry, written by foreign screenwriters, seems to have become a treasure hunt and treasure protection battle that is easier for European and American audiences to understand.
A group of yellow-skinned actors speaks all English lines and later Chinese dubbing is really awkward. Liu Chengyu, who
plays Snow Bottle, is really big. The bright spot
is quite the charm of Zhang Ziyi's Yu Jiaolong back then.
I wonder if Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu (played by Zhang Zhen) can't be invited to make cameo appearances,

    3.2 stars. Slightly boring. 1. I went to see Michelle Yeoh. 2. As a martial arts instructor, please feel at ease as a guide and not as a director. 3. The martial arts scene is good. 4. Fighting scenes can actually be filmed during the day. 5. Extremely disgusted with Donnie Yen. 6. I thought that the villain was too powerful, but in the end, it was easily wiped out. 7. The character's personality is too monotonous, except forbearance is rebellious. 7. As soon as Fei Dao Li and the others came out, I knew they wanted cannon fodder, but cannon fodder is quite meaningful.
