While Fung's attempts to err on the side of seriousness in this one after the stylized video-game high jinks of its predecessor are clearly purposeful, they don't necessarily make for a more pleasurable viewing experience.

There's less of the hyperventilated genre-pinging (video games, manga, comic books) from the first film. But there's still a nagging, cartoonish emptiness ...

"Tai Chi Hero" merely fills the eye, offering little that stays with you.

It's got more of a heart this time and I was able to warm to the characters in a way that I couldn't with the first film.
