A surprising sequel. The first film served classic Chinese folklore, this sequel mixes in a serious dash of urban fantasy. Visually it's a big step forward, only the character models feel a bit plain compared to the elaborate settings. Ultimately, it's the fast pacing and the creative lore that sets this film apart from the rest. Though the film crosses the two-hour mark, there is no dead weight here, just sprawling action sequences, beautiful fantasy creations and more than enough memorable moments. A landmark for Chinese CG animation.
