a decidedly different kind of film than its predecessor, and unfortunately not as good

Rated: 2.5/4

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.

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.

Rated: 4/5

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.

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.

A rather mediocre continuation of the saga, which must have read much better as a script than it plays as a film.

This obligatory sequel is commendable in that it doesn't retread the same ground as the first one and isn't insulting to the audience's intelligence, but it doesn't have the narrative drive of the original.
