The action scenes are as deft and awe-inspiring as you would expect, the speed of the sword fighting skills being just amazing. I actually enjoyed this slightly more than the first film because of the growing relationship between our hero and his lady.
Perhaps I would award higher scores if the villains were more threatening. Apologies to manga fans, but being entirely ignorant of the genre I find the comic-book villains insufficiently real to be taken seriously.
