The story of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Sword of the Green Ghost is very conventional. A treasure causes disputes between rivers and lakes, and chivalry and evil form two camps to fight. The personal grievances and enmities of the protagonist are all small embellishments swept into the background, strictly following the structure of three-act drama: at the beginning, the heroes gather justice and show their magical powers, the middle part faces shocks, and there are injuries and debts. The climax is that the prodigal son turns back and the Jedi counterattacks, but the typical disadvantage is that there is no surprise.

The most commendable scene in the film is the fighting scene. The scenes of tavern fighting, late-night treasure stealing, ice fighting, and the duel between two women in the dark are all remarkable, but they are all lacking in new ideas. China's martial arts films have embarked on the road of spectacle. From then on, there are no more rivers and lakes and legends in China's martial arts films, leaving only naked and dry action scenes. China's martial arts has become a film type with oriental color, but it has also caused the audience's aesthetic fatigue and loss of confidence. (Jinghua Times Review)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Sword of the Green Ghost borrows the original character structure, and tries to link up China people's chivalrous feelings again after more than ten years, and immerse themselves in the original chivalrous world. However, a large number of action scenes in the film lack aesthetic feeling and are too direct. Killing with one sword is not what artistic chivalry pursues. This kind of chivalry is not obvious. Many things are said with the help of Yu Xiulian's narration, which is straightforward and has no lasting appeal. The film will have an inexplicable gothic dark wind, and even play fantasy for no reason, lacking some personalized character characteristics. No matter from the modeling or performance, it suddenly reminds people of those dark characters in Hollywood movies, but can't match the martial arts in the oriental martial arts.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of the Green Ghost continues the context of the previous work. The story is simple and clear, and many "past events" in the original work no longer exist. The new story is monotonous, and it only uses fists and fists to compete with each other. The picture style of the film is also completely different from that of the previous work. Compared with the dazzling colors, the whole picture of this film is gloomy, and the costumes starring in it are basically black, white, gray and dark red. There is no conspiracy and no flirting. It only shows the meaning of martial arts and the beauty of martial arts, which is not bright but simple and vast. More than a dozen large and small martial arts dramas in the whole film are connected in series to form a Jianghu story of life entanglement and the birth of artifacts. There is no interference and it is played heartily. (Jinyang. com)
