A Better Tomorrow II [Blu-ray]

Blu Ray Review: Kam & Ronson version. Another good release by this company. It appears the results are always the same with all their Blu-Rays. A little questionable audio but good picture quality with good subtitles. But these releases are better than most the DVD's out there right now. I say $20 dollars is worth it unless you are hard on John Woo films. Extras include a trailer and Code Of Bullets thing. I don't know what it is. Movie Review: Yes, why this movie gets mixed reviews is because for some the story is disjointed and a bit incoherent. Understand this movie was cut like a b**** by Tsui Hark in which resulted in Woo and Tsui's split. I would love to see a director's cut version of this movie to see if it will improve. 1% CHANCE OF THAT HAPPENING! F***S! Anyways, I liked the movie. I agree the story is a little iffy and the character interaction is somewhat meaningless in certain areas while the first was more meaningful and deep; all in all it's all about the action and that is where this movie impresses the most especially the final moments. LOTS OF DEAD PEOPLE! YAY! So screw the lots of yous! Conclusion: 4 stars for the Blu Ray (questionable audio) and 4 1/2 for A Better Tomorrow 2.

I'll keep it simple. If you liked the first movie, you'll love this one. If you hated the first movie, maybe give this one a try, it's similar in pacing to the original but somewhat more entertaining. If you haven't watched the first movie, then what the Hell are you doing with your life?

The only things which stops me from rating this 5 stars are (warning minor spoilers below): Once the story gets past these rough spots, the movie gets way more awesome... The introduction of Chow Yun Fat's Character: Ken and the old trope of "never before mentioned twin brother". 1). The scene where Ken forces the protection racket mobster to eat the rice from his restaurant felt forced and unnatural and it really didn't fit well with the pacing and the rest of the movie. Chow Yun Fat did a great job with the crappy dialogue he was given for his character and he was the only one truly acting in that scene - but even if the other actors stepped up to their parts... it was still bad writing and pacing. 2). Twin brother. - It would have been better if Chow Yun Fat played the same character from the first movie and to provide an explanation of how that character survived: (like maybe he had a metal plate in his skull and the bullet slid around the plate and exited through the skin at the front of his head and he was in a coma)... bringing back the icon to the sequel was a brilliant move because it brought back his fans, but it could have been handled a bit better. The rest of the movie was intense and overall it was highly enjoyable. I would give this 4.5 stars but half stars aren't supported.

One more and I have the set of one the best action movies

Great movie, if you haven’t seen it maybe you should give it a shot , won’t be disappointed

The cd was a little more scratched then I excepted but it still played. it came in on time and still a good flick.

Great action and great story, as well as a clever way to bring Chow back for the sequel. Great Ending too!

I loved this movie. i have since bought the dvd. It is better than the first one. Even in subtitles. I now have it in english.
