Rewatch Value 3.0 Não ajuda que o filme esteja desesperadamente baixo em carisma, os atores são robôs sem expressão.
Overall - a fun creature feature, nowhere close in acting, production or story quality to the much superior Mojin: The Lost Legend. Some of the sets looked like ye olde Star Trek 1960s paper Mache rocks quality, which is cheesy. The action choreography could use some work. They added in a love interest for Fatty/Pang Zi - that was nice for him! The traditional music is wonderful and fits with the movie's style. There's a lot of action and various locales. Professor Sun (Cheng Tai Shen) does the majority of the good acting, as he doesn't have much "action" chops. This version of Wang Pang Zi (Yu Heng) is perhaps the LEAST annoying as in this movie I actually don't recall him doing his usual job of prematurely opening something or setting off a trap! Maybe it's because there isn't much in the way of Tomb Raiding in this movie, which is more of a creature fest. Hu Ba Yi (Julian Cai) has become Machete Kills and gained the skill of swimming, fighting and climbing while holding a Machete and chopping at everything. Shirley (Gu Xuan) has turned into a Legolas Wannabe who possesses and "Endless Quiver" (that never runs out of arrows).
The heroes in this version are super amped up in their fighting skills. In this movie the heroes are of course still on the hunt for a mystical round globe (sometimes called Pearl or Orb) that can maybe cure them of their "Eye" curse or disease. It is not as good as the first, but it's still decent fun. Action Hero iteration with bad CGI and confusing plot Mojin: The Worm Valley is widely considered the second CGI movie following Mojin: The Lost Legends.
