This sequel to a fantasy wuxia movie about poison magic cults is instead a scooby-doo investigation drama. There are still not-funny "comedic" characters and a couple of action sequences. But with cinematography being more prominent in the character scenes and rather flat in actions scenes accentuates what was the real focus of this story. And all of the slow-motion is still done by tampering with footage instead of "overcranking".
Zhonghua folk medicine has no place in WHO but it sure makes for a great fine-tuned for centuries fully developed fantasy setting. With all this terminology and the required actions and mythology. It was more prominent in the first film, though.
So, both of these movies are called Celestial master Zhang of Dragon-tiger mountain. But they find and give name to the Dragon-tiger mountain only by the end of this movie? And what have happened to Zhang Daoling between the films, that he now has four grey streaks in his hair?
