Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
The Worst Film Ever
Blistering performances.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
"Wolf Warrior 2" (aka "Zhan lang II") was definitely an action movie with a capital A.But that was also the entire extend of what the movie could manage. The storyline was incredibly flaccid and stereotypical if there ever was one in the action genre. And it didn't really help the movie one bit that the characters were every bit as pointless as the storyline and plot. That just made you have no care about the characters in the movie.My rating of five out of ten stars is based solely on the action and fighting in the movie, as there was absolutely nothing else to have here.This is not one of the most impressive or memorable action movies to come from the Asian cinema, and I can't really claim that having seen most of this movie has inspired me to go to watch the first movie. I gave up about an hour into the ordeal that is "Wolf Warrior 2". I just gave up from utter boredom, and I have no intention of returning to watch the rest of it.Actions movies should at least have something to keep the audience in aside from only action sequences...
As an african watching this film, with many chinese friends and close associates, this was possibly one of the most cringey experiences i have had. Leave the constant referral to the natives as simply africans , as if they do not possess a nationality, leave the almost insulting pro-chinese propaganda( and yes, i hate pro-american propaganda films too, before anyone starts about that) , this would be overlookable if the film actually had good camera work and story. BUT NO. The camera work and story all look like something out of a cheap youtube sketch. The only thing keeping this thing afloat are the set pieces, which, due to the terrible camera work and almost laughable story, stop them from having any real weight. If this film was from anywhere else it would be rated lower than 5 for most people. Should you watch this , if you are looking for a good Chinese/ Asian action movie? No. There are literally tonnes of better ,do your self a favor and start off with something like "Infernal Affairs" and "Let the bullets fly" or if its not action, anything by Jia Zhangke who is a master of filmmaking in my opinion, and also ChineseDont watch this
7/10 for the cast. 5/10 for CGI 8/10 for Action 5/10 for Plot/acting This movie is purely a chinese rambo film, it should be watch as one. This is better then the first one, specially the action part. Don't worry about what some people call propaganda in this. Unless one consider Black Hawk Down a political or Propaganda film, you would enjoy this just fine. Do turn your brain to half power just like Transformer-film or Fast and Furious Films!The film over all, bring to mind The Rambo 3. There isn't that much political and social message like in First Blood(rambo 1), well it is a chinese action movie. Action is ofc better now days, and for the most part Hollywood style, look's good, just don't think about it too much. And ofc just like Asian action movie in general, it has more Hand to Hand combat then Hollywood movies. CGI sucked. Most likely because they use all the money to get real "toys" to film. Which in many ways good. As all "toys" look's good.Cast and plot was as usual, nothing really that stand out if you watch this as Action films. Well, acting was better then Transformers, but hey, you go for giant robot on that one, and in this one, you come to see guns and tanks and alot fist flying. Don't expect much on this too parts!There is quite less of nationalistic over tone like the first one. I won't rate this even close to as a propaganda film, simple because it cast Chinese guy as good guy, and paint a "ok" but "savior" picture of Chinese military. Unless we also consider Rambo 3, Black Hawk down and most of Hollywood made action film are also propaganda films. But yes, there are few typical political message in it, about Chinese been the good guys here, but overall the nationalistic tone is much much less then what you expect from a war movies(And just like US war movie, if you want Military to help you make film, you can't really make military look like morons in it or make the country look bad). And also there are quite few chinese bad guys also in it. And no there is no anti-america sentiment in this movie. Only few line and one scene that may consider Anti-US, but even in those few lines, the dialog was made as joke not real Anti-US. "Why aren't US marine come to save you?",.... "How did you contact them? " "....By Tweeting them!". o.O
I though that the original "Wolf Warrior", while not terrible, was a somewhat flawed movie. It didn't have as much action as I wanted, and it often looked like it has been made with a somewhat limited budget. Still, the chance to see a pro Chinese fighting forces movie did help to make it offbeat enough to make it worth a look. So I was willing to sit down and watch this sequel, and I'm happy to report that things have improved significantly this time around. There are still flaws here, I admit. A few of the special effects (particularly CGI blood spatter) look cheap, but overall the movie looks slicker and more expensive than the first movie. The Chinese propaganda is laid out pretty thickly at times... though on the other hand, there have been plenty of Hollywood movies that have been equally patriotic about America and American soldiers. Some of the acting is pretty horrible, but you don't go to a movie like this to see great acting. No, you watch a movie like this for the action, and I have to say the action - which comes at a regular clip - is indeed great. With a mix of martial arts and modern fighting methods, the action is always varied, and is often executed in an over the top method that grabs you and never lets go. Action junkies will really love the mayhem that goes on in this movie. If they do decide to make a "Wolf Warrior 3", I will definitely give it a look.
