The Storm Warriors

Synopsis: Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok is reprising their roles as Wind and Cloud respectively in the comic-adapted "The Storm Warriors", the sequel to the ever popular "The Storm Riders" 11 years ago. Evil Japanese warlord, Lord Godless (Simon Yam) is intent on conquering China. In an effort to succeed, he imprisons all of the Chinese martial artists and attempts to make them subjugate. Amongst the prisoners are Cloud (Aaron Kwok) and the martial arts elder statesman, Nameless (Kenny Ho). Thankfully, Wind (Ekin Cheng) comes to the rescue, but all three are badly wounded during the battle to escape. Chu Chu (Tang Yan) also shows up and takes a direct strike from Lord Godless when she jumps in to save Cloud. The remaining martial artists sacrifice their lives to save the trio as they believe they are the only hope to beat Lord Godless and save the country.

This is a typical example where the success of the first series does not guarantee the success of its follow up. No doubt that the graphics are quite awesome, however, the movie is too fast pace such that the audience get lost while the movie zap between the scenes. The "open" ending, though I am not sure if there is an ending at all piles further negative reviews for the storm warriors. Watching this movie is highly unrecommended as there are better alternatives on the market.
