this be a real let down for me . the original bride with white hair be a great kung fu fantasy film but this one be pretty weak . i do not care at all for the new character who unfortunately dominate the screen time and the story wasn not well develop . while the first film be tragic and involve this one be tedious ( a i merely count the time to the end when the ill fat lover would actually meet ) . the action be poor in this one as well . the fight be not choreograph very well and there really wasn not much kung fu at all . just a few weak sword fight between the highly dis likable lui and one of lin henchwomen . lin herself mainly use a sort of telekinesis to throw people into wall and sometimes her hair and a far cry from the impressive showing with the whip and kung fu she display in the previous film . i still give this movie a 4 because at least it be fast pace and i do want to see what be go to happen at the end and though i ( a most anyone who watch the first one ) predict it would go down the way it do and after see it i find it anti climactic and wish they have either make a proper sequel or just leave the story alone . i really recommend the first one but a for the sequel only fan of the genre and those who really want to see lin a the bride one more time need apply .
