The most stimulating, satisfying aspect of this action fantasy is the theme music. Full Review |

|
1/4 |
This tedious hodgepodge of martial-arts mayhem, bogus mysticism and computer-generated special effects doesn't even pretend to have a plot. Full Review |

It's a toss up which aspect of this drivel is worst. Full Review |

Leonetti is a great cinematographer, but as director, well...
|
||
|
|
Pic consists largely of choppily edited fight scenes (usually involving somersaults and back flips) combined with various computer graphic effects. Full Review |
||
 3/5 |
A guilty pleasure more entertaining than the original
|
||
|
1/5 |
This is an example of a sequel just as terrible as the first movie: same stuff, different day. Full Review |
||
|
|
A little more work is required, for instance, on four-arm technology. Full Review |
||
|
|
Quite serious, charmless and critic-proof. Full Review |
||
|
|
Plot, character, motivation, you ask? C'mon! Full Review |
||
|
|
As far as the plot, the repetitive bombardment of similar scenarios makes the film seem very long and painfully drawn out. Full Review |
||
|
|
Witless, charmless and clueless. Full Review |
||
|
0.5/4 |
It's just an excuse for a series of tedious, repetitious fight scenes that have been staged with no hint whatsoever of originality. Full Review |

|
|
A dopey, badly acted and headache-inducing bore. Full Review |
