Crows Zero 2 (2009)

The second installment was not as dramatic as the first, not as action packed as the first… but it definitely had substance in it. What got my attention during the whole movie was how the characters showed how to make a REAL man out of a MAN. If you do get what I mean.

So who was the best example in the film to show how a real man should act? It was Genji's father. Damn! I so love the old man.

Rival gangs are always not my cup of tea when watching violent movies but CROW ZERO II worked on me. BIG TIME. There was still a lot comparison from the first movie and so many differences, yet it still worked. It was still as good as CROWS ZERO I can get. If not the best it is really GOOD. Oguri Shun still got to me that he now holds a real special place in my heart. His character as Genji-san shall never be forgotten.

The soundtrack was perfect even for the fighting scenes. I love how they have incorporated the music in crucial moments. That's one thing that I love with Japanese films, they use the music in the right moments.

Although there was a tiny speck of dust that I didn’t like in the film, it still made me understand that without it the whole new story for CZ II will not start. So I am letting that go.

Story: I absolutely loved the first Crows Zero and fell in love with the sequel. Usually sequels aren’t too good but this was amazing. It wasn’t just about fighting, it was about revenge, justice and defending honor. The best part about all the fighting is that it’s not just punching. There is so much more going on. You’d think that with two schools battling it out against each other there would be too much going on to even notice everyone else’s skill, but the director did an amazing job showing everyone off and making sure each fight gets the attention it deserves.

Music: Another amazing soundtrack, just like the first movie.

Cast/Acting: I’ve seen Oguri Shun act in several movies and dramas. He does alright in romantic comedies and such. But I truly think he shines the best when he plays a serious character like Genji. Everyone did such an amazing job, there were even parts that made me laugh.
