10/03/2021 Good action movie that was better than the first one and sets you up for the next sequel. See more Bob R 08/19/2021 Better than the first but not by much... See more 06/14/2021 Wolf Warrior 2 (Rental) is the highest grossing Chinese movie (at this point in time) and is the basis for "wolf warrior" diplomacy. It is in essence a version of Rambo III, set in Africa with a late 1990s direct to video feel and ex-Chinese special forces protagonist. The action scenes sometimes work (the underwater opener and the man v tank showdown) but some are just over the top craziness. It is pro China (in the way most films are pro USA) but it may not be a bad thing, as long as you try to live up to idolized version of your county as opposed to justifying your own actions. See more 03/21/2021 This is one of the most boring action movie I have ever seen and pretty loaded with Chinese propaganda. See more Marc Z @TKDLife 03/18/2021 Everything about this sequel to Wolf Warrior exceeds the first. The acting, the special effects, the story- all an improvement over the original installment. Wu Jing returns in this sequel. He also wrote, produced, and directed the film. The film surrounds Wu Jing's attempt to live a peaceful life in Africa when he his peace is disrupted by a mercenary army and a deadly disease outbreak. One of my criticisms of the first film was that I did not feel Wu Jing commanded the screen as the lead. Nothing could be further from the truth in this one. Rather than playing a Jackie Chan-esq character, Wu King finds his own as a compelling, interesting, and exciting action star in this one. He is very good. As for the supporting cast- Frank Grillo is always fun to watch. He appears to be the hardest working action star/character in the world. His fight with Jing in the finale of the film is well choreographed. Celina Jade is commanding as the love interest. Nwachukwu Kennedy Chukwuebuka steals every scene he is in as Jing's "Godson". This movie was one of the highest grossing pictures of all time. Sam Hargrave, martial artist, stuntman, and Director of the highly successful "Extraction, stunt choreographed the underwater fight as well as many of the action scenes. This explains a lot about its success. This one is worth watching. The ending foreshadows a "Part 3" and I hope it is at least as good as the sequel. See more Jonathan K @NojEsco 01/19/2021 In terms of production and narrative machinations, this is a far more complicated movie than its predecessor, so props to Wu Jing on his Directing of this film to have it work; it's not some of the best Directing you'll see by any stretch (the acting is mediocre and some of the cinematography is really rather bland), but it flows and it functions without any actual structural problems, which most certainly isn't nothing. People came to watch Action, and this movie Stars and is Directed by one of the most underappreciated Action stars working today. As such, the action is almost always from Good to Excellent, and the story-beats, while somewhat thread-bare, are enough to keep the momentum up. I was also shocked as to how much had actually happened by the end of the movie, as the amount crammed into the movie feels like it was a full hour longer (not a complaint, just an observation), as it ends with a prolonged fight scene that ends up with him battling a tank. The movie does often times come off as a bit pretentious at times, as it features heroes protecting unarmed citizens from trigger-happy killers, but it really just boils down to being an excuse to have some really cool action sequences; the movie does make you empathize for the refugees, but their part in the movie is really just a trick to generate a sense of empathy from the viewer. There is also a very, very strong Chinese Military Patriotism element in this movie, making it also feel like a Chinese Michael Bay film, but I don't count this against the movie because it makes sense (being a film made in China) and because it's actually purely a positive message - It uses heroism to bestow Patriotic Propaganda but doesn't use it to justify any morally grey misdeeds on the part of the heroes (I mean, it's literally about soldiers protecting unarmed civilians under fire). If you want a fun time you will find it in this movie, which is explosive, full of stunts, and works well on a technical level as well. See more Read all reviews
