Kingudamu 2: Harukanaru daichi e

I watch the first movie, and based on my brother information there's manga about this movie but i haven't read it yet, but this sequel really do justice for first instalment and if i can say, it had good improvement which is kinda tricky for sequel to achieve such kind of thing, really remind me many old chinese war movie that i used to love when i watch in my childhood, like red cliff, three kingdoms, the warlords, hero etc you named it, it's had good storytelling, atmosphere, and epic battle scene that keep you in the edge of you sheet, all actor do the good job and had good chemistry, i really looking forward to watch the next squel, it's really bring you to feel nostalgic about epic chinese movie war that you used to love in early 2000, but surprisingly came from japan production. Just watch it, you'll thank me later.

I enjoyed watching this great adventure movie, even I have not seen the first one. There are lots of actions with few touches of light comedy. Love the action movie with minimal romantic. There are few fantasy bits involved but with the real life actions that have good special effects. The actors were the right ones to be chosen for this movie. The story is about a small group of villagers fighting along with the great army of warriors. Will not tell you anymore. Just see it for yourself and I bet you will enjoy watching it with your favourite munchies. I look forward to see the upcoming sequel.

Kingdom 2 just came out on Netflix and it is amazing. Fans of the manga will be extremely happy with this adaptation. The second film focuses on the warfare part of the manga while introducing key characters moving forward. The scale of the action feels realistic and huge, which helps the audience appreciate the brutality of war, albeit set in a semi-fantasy setting. The cast for this movie is fantastic and each of the key main characters really embodied the 'over the top' personality of each one. The main character Shin carried his amazing performance from the first movie and faithfully adapted the role from the manga. He is loud, annoying and brash - but ultimately, likeable.

If you are a fan of Kingdom, this is a must see!

This sequel is 130 minutes of our main character, Shin, fighting in a war. We get great action set pieces after another, each of them being well-choreographed. Kento Yamazaki returns as Xin and is still lovable but the new character Qiang Lei, played by Nana Seino, is the new highlight. It is an incredibly fast-paced thrill ride!

The film captures the scale of the war but it does still have that same issue from the first where they kind of make it too light-hearted. The plot is weaker as well since it is mostly just the war with some character development for Xin and Qiang. It is also disappointing to see 2 of the original main trio, Ying Zheng and He Liao Diao, do nothing in this entry. It does feel a bit long for what feels like a minimal plot as well.

Still, wish more people were watching this as it is still very entertaining.

A lesser sequel when compared to the first film. This one's strength is one again the production values, which allow for large scale and lavish battle sequences which will delight anybody brought up on an era of DYNASTY WARRIORS gameplay. In terms of plotting, this is weak sauce indeed, with the main character failing to progress on any kind of arc whatsoever; he just does badass things to look cool. Even worse, half the cast are brought back from the first movie only to stand around twiddling their thumbs in random courtroom interludes. The climactic action sequences are both extensive and lavish, which makes this enjoyable but only in a mild way.
