Beautiful martial arts film

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 2011)

Since I typically watch 3 or 4 great martial arts films a week, KFP2 was a typical outing of great martial arts, with a story recognizable to every one who has ever seen more than 10 chop socky flicks. There are few sequences in here that aren't familiar. That is no dig at the film. What it lacks in originality, it far surpasses in sheer beauty. Like the greatest of martial arts films,its beauty is its motion. Each expression is artistry. Like all great martial arts films, there is no wasted motion.
From the opening piece, to the old school flashbacks, to the nod to every Jackie Chan film made in the good old days, this film fit the bill.
