Hanzhi After six years! Finally!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Gregg P Amazing action and animation and great story too.! Much better than the first movie. Hope they make another sequel . There’s action sequences I’ve never seen done before like the airplane battle. Definitely recommend! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/25 Full Review jesse v much better animation than the first movie, though there are many instances where 3D is used to fill in the gaps, especially the camera angles. Though, this movie should have been named to Adventures of Luye: Legend of Hei 2. the comedic factor has toned down dramatically for more action and artistic set pieces, and that makes it very hard to follow in multiple fight scenes. The third act felt like a condensed version of a tv season, with a super long montage at the end of what could have been in the movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/25 Full Review Christian V Equally tough and ballsy action with beautiful fluid animations and an adorable main character. China has been killing it with Animation. Easily tops American animation. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/10/25 Full Review jakim ♾️/10🔥 just left the theater and mind is blown and beyond!!! Somehow they both advanced and upgraded the first movie in so many ways whether it be the art design, special effects and each and every new character! All characters old and new had their powers and abilities shown with extraordinary measure i need to own both movies now! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/10/25 Full Review J Following a phenomenal first film this did Ana amazing job getting g us back into the world. The animation was smooth and beautiful and the pacing was just right with intense fight scenes, funny moments and heartfelt interactions. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
