NE ZHA 2 (2025) Movie Review | MIND-BLOWING!

Hey guys, welcome back. I I Cannot believe the movie that I just watched that I just witnessed. I'm gonna be butchering the name I know it because that is not how you pronounce the name even in the movie if you are a Chinese viewer I apologize, but nays nays. Ah, oh, I know I messed that up, but I just got back from watching nays To my mind. I can't take it. It is mine It is blown y'all need to go watch this and at a movie theater if you get a chance Let me just start off the video saying that it needs to be watched on the big screen now This is a sequel. I had no idea About the first movie I will be getting to it because I need to know the backstory I need to establish everything. So let's get into what I experienced with this sequel with the second part It's a visual feast. It's chaotic beautifully crafted Adrenaline pumping. Whoo that somehow also manages to be Emotional now if you haven't seen the first one, don't worry I went into this not knowing about the first one either and let me be honest The reason why I went to go see this is because I saw an article stating that it is already the highest Grossing animated movie in history surpassing inside out to I can see why but that's that statistic right there I'm just like what I need to go check this out This movie pushes animation to new heights the stunning character designs and for me For me, but I meet this movie is gay and I live for it like that I interpreted it in that way. I Relate to it in a way because I am a homosexual and this movie just spoke to me Wow the animation I'm I'm shook even without knowing the first film this movie immediately pulled me in with the stunning visuals the colors Explosive the action sequences, but I was shaking every frame feels like a painting Blending traditional Chinese mythology with cutting-edge animation techniques What really stood out to me is the scale of this movie. The movie takes battle choreography to a new level there's weight to every movement a real sense of impact when these characters clash and it's not just the fight like Even those moments that are chill relaxed the calming the in-between shots. They're beautiful Like I said, like a painting like this is just peak animation flexing Like I feel like the animators for this movie China must be so freaking proud the character design Let's get into it guys because I was like Even for someone like me going in fresh to this I guess franchise I'm assuming it's gonna it's already a franchise or it's turning into one the look of it already gives me backstory It already tells me something about the characters even without knowing their backstory Like I said, I didn't watch the first one Neza's look fierce. I'll being Elegant yet intimidating which just helps the visual storytelling. It makes it more effective Animation isn't just about movement. It's about presence and Neza to deliver that it It's the perfect example The villains in this whoo. There's some dragons in this the dragons already Specifically one was very Kent. He was giving me life the girl dragon and then when they trans I'm already spoiling it. Oh, well when they transform into like their human demon form if you will I was I was a kid. I was a kid at a candy store Let's get into the queer subtext that I was speaking about at the beginning how I related to this movie a lot Nasa's a bit of a rule breaker and outcast to define Expectations and in this film that theme is front and center. There's a fluidity to his identity like at first I thought it was a girl. The look is androgynous. I could not tell is this a girl or boy? Obviously, it's boy same for our beam. He has this feminine energy look delicateness to him that I love They both have this sense of like self-discovery that like queer people can relate to Perfectly nasa's dynamic without being whoo. There's some tension right there I know they're friend, but I I was like, um There's the homosexuality coming into the that I'm loving. It's layered. It's complex It's emotionally rich even without knowing anything from the first movie I just could tell nasa and I'll being they have this Emotional intimacy between them like it's it's there. It's palpable It's about finding someone who sees you who can relate to you Even if the world doesn't the androgynous looks their rejection of societal roles and the fiery independence that nasa has and the film's unspoken message of Identity is fluid and it's yours to define follow your heart be who you are Whoo So many queer individuals like can relate to this. I see it I I did and I also love this up subtext that I found about like queers were evil We're demons. We're monsters. We don't belong Y'all are supposed to be enclosed in hell Y'all are going to hell but we escape that we prove that This darkness that you're talking about and that you are the light We're actually the good guys we about to come for y'all like we're about to battle fight for our lives I loved it. So why does this movie matter? I think it because Congrats on being a blockbuster hit right, but it's just more it's it's deeper than that and their substance to it It's a testament to the power of animation and its storytelling It challenges the idea that animated films have to fit in the to a certain mold it plays with gender representation themes of identity Breathtaking visuals all while delivering a thrilling action-packed story and the best part You don't need to watch the first one because I did it to appreciate it. I will be honest though I do think you need to watch the first one because I believe the first act of the movie I was lost I could not understand everything that was happening and why it was happening So I do believe it connects with the first one So I am going to watch this so I can better understand that first act of the movie But the second and third acts of the film like you are able to enjoy you get it You understand bold innovative and visually stunning. I just cannot stop talking about it. It is so good guys. I'm gonna be Watching out for the third one because I know it's coming So if you haven't seen Nisa 2 and it's available at a theater near you What are you waiting for go watch it go support. This is animation at a whole nother level. It's It's an experience you will love it you're gonna feel things I was thinking to myself if I'm feeling this way as a 34 year old gay man I can only imagine what a kid must be feeling. Let me know what you think guys If you've seen it, if not a go, thank you for watching like comment subscribe share and until next time adios
