Although the story itself is quite simplistic, visually it is ambitious, sometimes to its own detriment. I get it. The story serves as a mere driving force to carry the viewer from one spectacle to the next. I am sure it was a visual treat on the big screen, and it is a shame that I watched it on my laptop. Regardless, I feel that the constant need for spectacle and the tendency to clutter each frame with grandiose sequences detract from the genuine talent of the artists who made this film possible. The third act in particular is so unbelievably cluttered that instead ofinspiring awe, it simply becomes a mess. Every movement feels too smooth, and the action scenes lack charm because there is no real rhyme or reason behind the choreography. It is exhausting to sit through, with no room to breathe, and we never quite connect with the emotional beats because the plot rushes forward, demanding the next “cool” transformation or fight sequence. The choreography itself looks uninspired, designed to manufacture maximum overstimulation. Despite all this, I do love the central message of the film, though I feel the story never does it justice. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I prefer the visually inferior prequel. Perhaps sometimes having a bigger budget is not such a blessing. Don't get me wrong: I strongly believe more money should be invested in original animated projects, but it is also worth noting that limited budgets often push filmmakers to compensate in other ways, which can result in something more substantial. I had a similar issue with the latest season of Rick and Morty, where much of the charm from the first few seasons was traded in for flashy action sequences, flexing the animation budget. P.S. I have questions: 1. Why can Ne Zha's parents suddenly fly? 2. Um... Dragon Daddy?? Hello???

Let me start with the good things. The animation in this movie is absolutely stunning. There's not a single scene where you'll feel like it could have looked better. Some shots are so beautiful, you might want to take a screenshot and set it as your wallpaper. The scale, ambition, and vision are huge. The second thing I liked was the comedy. It's genuinely funny and made me laugh many times. But the placement of the comedy is a bit off. Sometimes a serious or emotional scene is suddenly interrupted by a joke, which ruins the mood. The comedy itself isn't bad, it just shows upat the wrong moments. The story is actually pretty good, with lots of twists and betrayals. The characters are well written too. Even after the movie ends, you'll remember a lot of them, even some small demons who only show up for a minute. That's how well they're done. The OST and sound design were okay. Not bad, but nothing special either. Same goes for the fight scenes, they weren't bad, just not memorable. Now for the things I didn't like. The climax was way too long. It keeps going and going and after a point, you're just waiting for it to end. And even after all that, the movie doesn't really conclude. None of the villains are defeated. Everyone escapes just to set up part three. So the ending isn't terrible, but it's not satisfying either. I also didn't like how the story was executed. The plot had a lot of potential, but it wasn't explored or handled well. It felt predictable, and while that's not always a bad thing, it didn't leave much of an impact. This movie made over 2 billion dollars at the box office, so clearly a lot of people loved it. You might like it too. But for me, I still prefer the first part over this one.

Ne Zha 2 elevates the presentation of mythological tale to new heights. Director Yu Yang seamlessly blends entertainment with spectacular visual storytelling while expertly balancing genres. The story follows an archetypal good vs evil structure, enhanced by strong writing and unpredictable plot twists, making it stand out despite its generic foundation and is definitely much better than the prequel. The latter half of the story unfolds through sequential action scenes. Action director Yi Su has crafted one of the most unforgettable action sequences in cinematic history. Drama is equally great, delivering stirring emotional scenes. "I never cared whether you were an immortal or a demon. All Iknow is you are my son." --Madam Yin Comedy often feels unnecessary, but it is undeniably hilarious and unexpectedly catches off guard. If it had been trimmed and instead given time for story development, it could've been better, still it's fun to watch Nezha being Nezha. All the characters are well developed and undergo meaningful character growth. "You must walk your own path. From now on, follow your heart." --Ao Guang The art remains consistently impressive in every frame. The scenery, backgrounds, and color contrast are thoughtfully designed. The visuals and animation by The Monk Studio stand out as the movie’s strongest aspect. While the VFX/CGI isn't quite on par, it never clashes or feels out of place. CG visual art director Devaraj Balakrishnan handled it elegantly. The sound design brilliantly enhances the visual spectacle, creating a deeply immersive experience. Voice acting is decent. The music, especially the orchestral arrangements breathe life into the film, and when combined with the visuals and scenario, it is simply breathtaking. The OST is well-composed, although it doesn’t include lyrical tracks within the movie. The ending songs, 'Zai Gu Shi De Zui Zhong' and 'Jin Hou Wo Yu Zi Ji Liu Lang' by Zhang Bichen, are soothing and evoke the entire story, leaving a lingering sense of emptiness. My experience: Few days ago, I went to a nearby cinemas but they canceled the show because there were only 4 people including me, they needed at least ten to start. So yesterday, I traveled far, hoping for a crowd at the IMAX and somehow, I ended up being the only person there XD thankfully they didn't cancel and I was able to watch Nezha 2 alone in IMAX...omfg it was the best IMAX experience. Without people's chatter, laughter and distractions it was peaceful to watch. I could feel the soundwaves travelling through the body. I even changed seats adjusting fov XD

Nezha 2 is really special to me because I watched Nezha when I was still a little cute baby. Sure there are some immature moments that were made for kids but the fight scenes really just hit different. This movie was a roller coaster of emotions. I didnt really know what that meant until I watched this movie. There were wholesome, sad, and epic scenes. I was crying so hard in that movie, that never happened in a while. In a while I mean 1 day. The last movie I watched that made me cry was A silent voice. It was also pretty funny for akids show, but this movie had the craziest plot twist of the century. Even if you are American and don't speak English, there are english sub titles. Even though this movie isnt for everyone, it was for me. There were some boring moments in the movie but the animation was really good. The sounds were loud as well ( maybe because I was in the movies ). I won't forget when I came out of the movies with red eyes and sweaty buttocks.
