2.5/4
a decidedly different kind of film than its predecessor, and unfortunately not as good Go to Full Review

That the second film, 'Love Song,' does not match its predecessor only shows that sequels are seldom equal. It is still a good view, however. Go to Full Review

4/5
70's Samurai action ... mixes drama and historical relevance with the mostly two-dimensional villains and wholesale slaughter that you'd expect from a good chop-sake' film. Go to Full Review

Johnathon W @Hoppynsc May 16 Subpar sequel that while continues Meiko Kaji's epic lead performance, doesn't contain the style and nuance of the original. Kaji gives another great performance as Lady Snowblood, this time listless as her quest for revenge was completed in the first movie, thus she doesn't really have a reason to live until given a new mission. Unfortunately, the director Toshiya Fujita doesn't really do much with the concept of Snowblood trying to find a new place for his skills, with the revolutionary storyline never quite jelling. Not a bad film but only watch when paired with the original. See more 12/21/2020 Slow burn compared to the first one but still enjoyable. See more 01/22/2019 Decent follow-up. It's not as dynamic or have the visual flair of the original, but there's still some cool action. The plot doesn't seem to serve the character well though, as she seems out of place and it seems like an implausible turn for her to make the decisions she does. It's cool to see her further adventures. See more 06/11/2017 I am a huge fan of Lady Snowblood and was very excited to see it's sequel. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. I think the plot in theory is a good idea, but it was executed in a very confusing way. Lady Snowblood, a cold-blooded master assassin who is arrested for her crimes, is given her conditional freedom by a secret government agency so long as she kills a popular anarchist. I don't understand how you can mess up a plot that interesting. Additionally, the use of color and the artistic imagery of the first movie were noticeably absent. I suppose this movie is a good example of why a sequel is not always a good idea. See more 11/18/2016 A rather mediocre continuation of the saga, which must have read much better as a script than it plays as a film.
