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.
