Review of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny (2016) by Bill W — 26 Feb 2016

Great sequel. Loved Chow Yun Fat in the first movie but Donnie Yen is excellent in this as well as the other stars. As usual, the critics don't know what the hell they're talking about. If you liked the original, you should enjoy this.
