Perfect breakthrough ~ action is more exciting than suspense

The biggest feeling I have after watching "Fu II" is that there are many breakthroughs compared to "Fu Yi". What remains unchanged is the grasp of the style of this film, which basically continues the picture effect of the first documentary, still taking the audience back to Great Britain in the industrial age of the 19th world. The ending and beginning of the two movies are cleverly connected by the same plot, which seems to be two or three movies separated by two or three years. In this way, it is like the first and last episodes of the same movie. The audience has a familiar feeling of deja vu.
The same fight scene begins, but the two films handle it differently. In the first part, the pictures of the two fighting are performed at a constant speed through the tangent of normal long shots and short shots, while in the second part, almost all the fighting scenes are edited by fast short shots to show tension. , exciting fighting, which makes the original simple action design more sensory impact. On the contrary, in the first part, when Sherlock Holmes was thinking, the picture flashed back quickly. In "Fu II", the focus is on the coherence and continuity of the protagonist's thinking when dealing with the thinking picture, so that the audience can follow the plot more clearly. In the chase scene in the forest and the shootout scene in the train, slow-motion special effects were also used to express the scenes of bullets, bombs, and sharp weapons passing through and hitting. This makes the film more focused on narrative changes than the first, highlighting the special effects processing of action scenes, and exaggerating the action to achieve the visual impact of the screen effect.
In terms of plot, compared with the first part, although it is a different story, in terms of plot development, the level of suspense and tension is basically the same, but it is more eye-catching in the portrayal of many environments. For example, the castles and waterfalls in the mountains at the end, the panoramic depiction of the train, the mountains and forests on the way of horseback riding, all of which make "Fu II" closer to the atmospheric style, which is different from the book-like narrative of "Fu Yi".
On the whole, "Fu II" has made a big breakthrough compared with a few years ago. While focusing on the perfect plot, suspense and thriller, a lot of work has been done on the scene and action. While watching the reasoning plot, the audience is still enjoying the excitement of the action pictures. It can be said that in "Fu II", the action is more exciting than the plot~a perfect breakthrough.
