To counter the violence, the film delivers strong messages about loyalty, courage, a moral high ground, and the power of love.

Netflixs simplistic sequel lacks atmosphere and excitement, going overboard on old school antiquities instead.

The production design is just acceptable enough that itll pass with at home streaming.
The Guardian

Lee drains the genre of its passion and vitality, reveling in vague, stultifying good taste.

Without such flourishes to distract or entertain audiences, it falls to the performers to carry the underwritten, cliche heavy narrative.

Good intentions aside, youd be hard pressed to find any of the original films magic in this cut rate sequel.

Nonetheless, the noble and endearing presence of Michelle Yeoh is enough for us to recommend this sequel to you.

Lees film tried to improve upon the martial arts genre, without understanding its inherent greatness or appeal.

Crouching Tiger fans will certainly find something to admire and for everyone else, its a perfectly fun movie to Netflix and chill.Im not complaining.
Hindustan Times

Unfortunately, its homogenized, English speaking sequel pales in comparison, offering too little, too late.

Like so many too late sequels, the film directed by the first films action choreographer Yuen Woo ping rides on waves of nostalgia and little else.

The choreography itself is dazzlingly inventive, but there is something too emphatic about the ways the sequences are filmed and assembled.

Its not offensively bad. Its a kids meal safe, but grown ups will tire of it quickly.

The Verge

It just doesnt possess the spirit or excitement that made the first one so wonderful.
Scifi Now
3.1
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Woo Ping is more skilled in the kinetics of genre tradition than the elegance and finesse Lee employed to defy it.

The fight scenes are solid, but the film fails to live up to its predecessors overall grace, beauty, and emotional resonance.
