Wolf Warrior 2 Reviews

I didn't really know what to expect from this flick but since it had been a huge box-office success in China and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I didn't care much for the damned thing, I'm afraid. First of all, it started with some annoying introduction which constantly went back-and-forth in time. Of course, the fact that it didn't see 'Wolf Warrior' didn't really help. Then, I was actually surprised that most of the movie was taking place in Africa which I didn't expect from a Chinese blockbuster. Unfortunately, this interesting approach was partially ruined by the fact that they didn't provide any context whatsoever so I never felt engaged in this conflict. Anyway, the whole point was obviously the action scenes which were very well done, especially the first fighting scene in the water. However, maybe half of the running time was dealing with some endless shootings which became just so repetitive and it kind of wore me down at some point. Finally, even though I knew beforehand that the whole thing was pretty much some propaganda about Chinese pride, the final scene was still pretty hard to swallow. Anyway, to conclude, sure, I have seen worse, but I still think it was rather boring and I don't think it is really worth a look.
