Critics Consensus

Visually spectacular with a hyperactive sense of humor, Ne Zha II is a sequel that supercharges the original's charms while still being accessible for the uninitiated.

Audience Says

A truly all-encompassing sequel best served alongside its predecessor, Ne Zha 2 is a technical and narrative triumph that exceeds expectations and further immortalizes the Chinese legend.

While the convoluted plot is more readily digested by those familiar with the legends, the combination of frenetic battles, bawdy slapstick, and a rowdy, indefatigable hero make NE ZHA 2 likely to extend the reach of Chinese animation.

Dozens of characters come through, give you a minute-long monologue about their complicated backstory, and then go to battle. It can be exhausting. But the animation, and the world building, can be really spectacular.

Since the animation looked stunning, I went in with intense curiosity. I emerged 145 minutes later confused and nursing one of the worst headaches I’ve had in decades.

3/4

If you can keep up with the plot (it’s not Shakespeare or anything), the movie rewards with gorgeous spectacle and breathtaking action.

3.5/5

No matter how predictable it can be narratively, Ne Zha 2 is a genuinely engaging piece of blockbuster animation designed to get lost in, if only for two and a half hours.

Ne Zha 2 is a vibrant spectacle—mythic, bold and visually lush. It’s irreverently funny and culturally rooted, balancing epic wuxia action with universal emotions. Though it sometimes overflows with bombast, its ambition and heart carry it through
