The sequel to Storm Riders, the Chinese comic-adapted movie that broke box office records in 1998, Storm Warriors defiantly delivers more 'Pang' for your buck this time around. Based on the comic 'Fung Wan' we see the return of pop idols Ekin Cheng & Aaron Kwok who are huge teen idols sensations in Asia, although they are now much older than when the first movie came out. But I guess their audience is too.
From the opening scene...BANG... We get right into it; There are Fireballs, Flying swords and a lot of graceful martial arts for arts saké thrown in, and a few Sakés will go down well before watching the movie as it it full on and getting in the right mood with some mates will be best as this 100% action CGI OverLord of a movie is geared more towards a younger crowd.
I found the BIG orchestra soundtrack was set to OverKill throughout the entire movie, but with an epic battle scene nearly every 5min, it's expected and a little full on, I needed to come up for some air but couldn't as a new fight scene was just around the corner.
I particularly liked the Streetfighter-esq still shots placed mid battle that moved across the screen just like the video game.
The plot had Elements of Chinese folk lore and a sexy cast like Chu Chu (Yan Tang), it's got it all. A little full on for myself, but the Nintendo generation (old & new) will love it.
