After watching two films, I feel that the second film is obviously much better than the first. I don't know if the editing was changed or other directors helped to shoot it. I feel that it is getting better. To be honest, although the story is old-fashioned, there are many innovative elements, such as RGB-like game settings, punk music, and screen gamification, etc. These new elements must be appropriate, otherwise they will be too fancy.
Secondly, due to Director Feng's good popularity, the familiar old actors from the peak period of Hong Kong movies have all come, adding a lot of points to this movie, some people seem to see the dawn of the comeback of Hong Kong kung fu movies.
In fact, if the two films are merged, the first film will cut out some irrelevant characters and plots to highlight the main line, and the rest will be fine, such as cutting the part of Shu Qi (although the filming is quite innovative), deleting the part of foreign baroness, female The entanglement between the Lord and Peng Yuyan, the part where Peng Yuyan was frustrated and slowly deteriorated (actually, he was directly black-bellied at the beginning, and it would be even more dramatic if he played a good person and ripped his face), and even Feng Shaofeng's entire play (although it was popular, but It's not that the series can't fit so much content for a movie). When the plot is compact, you won't want to talk about everything, but nothing will be clear, and the overall look is so messy and thin. The first third explains the male protagonist's life experience and encounters with the female protagonist (responsible for the funny part), the middle third talks about how the two get along (showing off romance and martial arts essence), and the second third is used to fight the big boss (mainly highlighting martial arts and unraveling some mysteries), it would be an amazing work, not two commercial films for money.
