Wonderfully offbeat film!

Not even bad in a good way

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Netflix in Australia must be clamouring for an audience with this garbage, would never have watched it otherwise. Bad CGI, bad acting and Frank Grillo is top billing even though he's only slightly in it and even then he just seems like he's there for a paycheck. (The crap an actor will do for $$$$) As well as China having huge pride in ridding the world of its endangered animals, it's human rights violations including illegal organ harvesting and its ability to convince the world they are peaceful I say no, stick your cheap movie where it belongs.

7/10 for the cast. 5/10 for CGI 8/10 for Action 5/10 for Plot/acting This movie is purely a chinese rambo film, it should be watch as one. This is better then the first one, specially the action part. Don't worry about what some people call propaganda in this. Unless one consider Black Hawk Down a political or Propaganda film, you would enjoy this just fine. Do turn your brain to half power just like Transformer-film or Fast and Furious Films!The film over all, bring to mind The Rambo 3. There isn't that much political and social message like in First Blood(rambo 1), well it is a chinese action movie. Action is ofc better now days, and for the most part Hollywood style, look's good, just don't think about it too much. And ofc just like Asian action movie in general, it has more Hand to Hand combat then Hollywood movies. CGI sucked. Most likely because they use all the money to get real "toys" to film. Which in many ways good. As all "toys" look's good.Cast and plot was as usual, nothing really that stand out if you watch this as Action films. Well, acting was better then Transformers, but hey, you go for giant robot on that one, and in this one, you come to see guns and tanks and alot fist flying. Don't expect much on this too parts!There is quite less of nationalistic over tone like the first one. I won't rate this even close to as a propaganda film, simple because it cast Chinese guy as good guy, and paint a "ok" but "savior" picture of Chinese military. Unless we also consider Rambo 3, Black Hawk down and most of Hollywood made action film are also propaganda films. But yes, there are few typical political message in it, about Chinese been the good guys here, but overall the nationalistic tone is much much less then what you expect from a war movies(And just like US war movie, if you want Military to help you make film, you can't really make military look like morons in it or make the country look bad). And also there are quite few chinese bad guys also in it. And no there is no anti-america sentiment in this movie. Only few line and one scene that may consider Anti-US, but even in those few lines, the dialog was made as joke not real Anti-US. "Why aren't US marine come to save you?",.... "How did you contact them? " "....By Tweeting them!". o.O

Stories is still one of those mindless one man action flicks, but the sidekicks this time around are more entertaining, almost managing to upgrade this to a three man army. Other improvements include way better shots of action scenes (some of them really made me go 'wow!' for a moment), and no more horribly bad CGI wolves.Where they can still do better: dramatic flashbacks. Rather than serving to strengthen the emotional side of the plot, it undercuts the build up of tension in various scenes. Timing of those scenes was just not good.Good for a lazy Friday night; quite a bit better than its predecessor!

'WOLF WARRIOR 2': Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five)The blockbuster Chinese action sequel to 2015's 'WOLF WARRIOR', about a rebellious Chinese soldier who goes on special missions around the globe. In this sequel he's protecting African medical aid workers from violent rebels and arms dealers. Wu Jing stars as the special ops hero Leng Feng, and the movie costars Celina Jade, Frank Grillo, Hans Zhang and Wu Gang. Jing also wrote, co-produced and directed the film, which has broken records all around the world (and became the highest grossing movie ever in China's history)! It's also received mostly positive reviews from critics, and I had a blast watching it too. Leng Feng (Jing) returns to his hometown, with his special ops forces, and finds it overran by a corrupt real estate company. Feng ends up killing the company's boss, and being sent to military prison for 2-years (as he's also discharged from service). Once released, Feng begins working on a freighter delivering relief supplies to Africa. While doing this, he also becomes involved in a very bloody civil war there. This leads to Feng volunteering to help protect a newly discovered Lamanla vaccination, from evil rebel forces. They're lead by a ruthless mercenary named Big Daddy (Grillo). The movie reminds me a lot of the blockbuster action flicks that I grew-up on as a kid. It especially reminds me of a Chinese version of a 'RAMBO' flick (specifically the second one). So for me the film is kind of nostalgic, and I love movies that make me feel nostalgic. It's kind of silly, over-the-top, and cartoonish too, but that's what makes it so much fun. Jing is also a great action hero lead, and Grillo makes a totally badass bad guy in it! It's an awesome movie for people that love awesome action movies, I'd say without a doubt.
