1 out of 5 stars BEWARE!.......2005-12-26

Picture on item doesn't match the picture here, and it is NOT a region 1 DVD. It will not play in American players.

1 out of 5 stars Pathetically stupid and disappointing.......2001-06-29

This sequel of "Saviour of the Soul" will put you to sleep within the first twenty minutes - unless you're a major Andy Lau fan. This movie succeeded in being corny, stupid, and uneventful in every way. The actors failed, using the worst acting I've ever seen, and the dialogue makes the movie even worse because it attempts at being funny. (It fails.)

The plot is completely unrelated to the the first "Saviour of the Soul" (which is much better). While the first movie concentrates on the romance of Andy Lau and his "lover", "Saviour of the Soul 2" completely shuns the female character. She's not even in it. Doesn't make sense, does it?

Bad editing. Bad sound. Bad fighting. Bad dialogue. Bad acting. Bad cinematography. Bad sets. This film asked to be bombed. - Priscilla

3 out of 5 stars Sets a screen on fire.......2001-06-29

Heavenly King Andy Lau gives a rather corny performance in "Saviour of the Soul", and yet this movie still manages to be striking. An excessively melodramatic romance that proves a typical theme - the one that says, "Love never dies." Another Heavenly King on the screen, Aaron Kwok, is reason enough to buy this film. Aaron plays the "bad guy" - the only "bad" role he has taken in his acting career - and he brings creativity and stirs emotion of the audience through his performance. Why is the word "bad" in quotes? Simply because the film's perspective favors the character of Andy Lau, however if put in Aaron's shoes, he did what he had to do.

This film grips you in the beginning, may get you tear-eyed in the middle, and by the time it's over, you'll be impressed. Even through Andy Lau's solo kung-fu performanes, this movie is not in the kung-fu genre. However, fight scenes were absolutely shocking and extremely original with nice camera angles, sound effects, costumes, and kicks from Aaron Kwok and Andy Lau. Fight scenes could have pleased an audience more by being longer and in more occurence, but like I said, "Savior of the Soul" is not a kung-fu movie. Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok (top performers in Hong Kong) work together again to fill the screen with swords, kicks, romance, tears, and more.

Get this film. You won't regret it. - Priscilla

2 out of 5 stars Colorful Waste of Celluloid.......2001-05-23

One thing "Saviour of the Soul" proves is that you don't need Tim Burton or Joel Schumacker and a million to make a bad comic-book movie. All the things that made a film like "Heroic Trio" such an unexpected joy are missing here. Where "Heroic Trio" had light tone, that didn't take itself too seriously, "Saviour of the Soul" alternates between sorrow and stoogery. There is no coherent story nor reason to care about the characters and no amount of style and can save it.

If we care about Anita Mui's character, it's only because we like Anita Mui the actress. The love story is laughable; there's no reason to believe the characters should be lovers. Andy Lau's character is just a sullen jerk, with good martial arts skills. Each of the stars have made better films.

The fightings okay, but we've seen it all before. The special effects are generally cheesy. And don't get me started on Madam Pet, a ripoff of Brigitte Lin's character in "Zu, Warriors of the Magic Mountain." Life is short, spend it with better movies.

4 out of 5 stars Legend of Blown up Master..........2001-02-19

If you want to make a movie about a sword-wielding super ninja avenging his master you probably don't want to start the movie by having the aforementioned sword-wielding super ninja rescue his master and then blow him up. Nonetheless this is the road that Saviour of the Soul chooses to take and it is pretty succesful. The movie is just plain fun and extreme. It does just about everything there is in the filmmaker's handbook to get the audience to laugh, cry, and cheer. I really don't get the plot...that's where the holes are, but if you ignore plot entirely and follow the story without questioning any of the massive gaps in its logic, then you will enjoy this flick. Great art direction, sweet Hong Kong style fight scenes and a quality Superman take-off definetly make this dvd worth buying. Oh yeah, it also has Cantopop...nothing but Cantopop for a soundtrack...oh boy.
