Summary: A surreal ghost and love story set in ancient China.
Review: Tsui Hark is both a magician in creating atmosphere and mood and also a superbeing in creating something not seen in everyday life. He has captured the gist of the world of surreal, and also he has created a world that is beyond humans. Worked with Hollywood special effects master, Nick Allder, Tsui creates a mythical sequence of men fighting beast in a surreal world. Juxtaposed with the world of real and surreal, Tsui has created a love story that co-exists in both worlds, and its beauty is beyond words. Tsui Hark is at best when he comes to science fiction: fighting in a castle with poisoned butterflies, love between man and ghost, and also all the imagination that you can have about the Oriental myths. He has studied films in Texas University, USA, and he is the only MAN who bridges the western technologies and recreates the mythologies of the EAST for the world audiences to enjoy.

Summary: Not really a ghost story
Review: Contrary to the English title, this movie isn't really about ghosts. It's about monsters, including a centipede who "studied" for thousand of years to achive human form. (Chinese mythology contains plenty of stories about animals who "study" for almost eternety to achieve human or some other form.While Chinese Ghost Story II is enjoyable, I still prefer the first movie of the Ghost Story trilogy. This is because the second movie has a slightly bad ending involving the fate of one of the main characters.

Summary: Much better than the fist one
Review: Only a few of the sequel is better than the fist one. This movies is no lesser romance, more funnier, more actions, better special effect and Joey Wang is more beautiful (and less nudity). There are 2 more main characters which added more color to the stories, "the General" who is extremely good with the sword arts and another ghost-buster guy who is really funny. I saw special edition dvd which speaks madarin and cantonese and has 8-10 languages subtitles. The dvd quality is great, I was hoping that they will add the behide the scene features, star interview (I am a forever fan of Leslies Chueng, since I was a teenager) to be more fun. If you wanna spend $37 one of the movies for one of the chinese ghost stories, buy this one.

Summary: Better than the first of the trilogy, but with less romance
Review: This is the second enstallment in a trilogy of rather bizarre and highly special-effects-oriented movies. The first of the three focusses mainly on the love affair between the hero and the spirit of a dead girl. The second film trades much of the romantic elegance of the first for a heavy helping of very exciting and creative action. Taking place in a fantastic world of Chinese myth and legend, the story follows the young hero from the first movie as he encounters a living woman who bears an identical likeness to his spirit lover from the first film. The events are often strange and sometimes confusing, but always highly entertaining. Viewers who are new to this particular genre of Hong Kong film will likely find this movie to be very strange and perplexing. It would be best advised to tackle some of the less fantastic fantasy films first, such as "Wing Chun", "Tai Chi Master" or "Dragon Inn" before viewing this trilogy. But once one is accustomed to the style of these kinds of films, Chinese Ghost Story II is well worth the effort of seeking out and finding.

Summary: Better than you might think
Review: A good mix of over-the-top fantasy, lots of wire-fu, an incredibly inept "hero" scholar, the beautiful Joey Wong, some very funny moments, all presented at a break-neck, full-spead-ahead pace. Yes, typically laughable not so special effects, but the story is so interesting, the action non-stop, and atmosphere nearly perfect, that you will find yourself willing to overlook the absence of the kind of quality that one would expect from a Hollywood effort. No, you don't need to see Ghost Story One to understand this one; it's not as if the plot really mattered--what plot there is a very easy to follow. A pretty good DVD, with a cleaned up picture, good sound, lots of language choices. A very enterataining movie.

Summary: John Woo old school Hong Kong love/ghost story
Review: My favorite in the series, this classic love story is so beautiful and so rich I know you will love it. It is almost as good a love story as Harold and Maude. It takes place mostly at night with whispy ghosts that can fly from tree to tree with wonderful magic tricks and occasional bursting into song.

Summary: Not as good as the first one, but still fun
Review: I am a huge fan of the Qian Nü Yiou Hun (Chinese Ghost Story) series, and I have all three of the movies on DVD. This one is without a doubt my favourite of the 3. The atmosphere set by this film is superb and unmatched. Some of the biting yet subtle criticisms on the corruption of buearacracy might be missed on Western viewers, but nevertheless this is the quintisential Chinese Swordman-Taoist monk (Wu Xia/Dao shi) movie.
