Summary: It's horrible, even for DTV standards
Review: I've always really liked the original Black Mask, starring Jet Li as the costumed hero fighting fellow supersoldiers. With it's exciting wire fu action scenes to the charms of Jet Li, (which came through despite the dubbing) it was a fun movie to watch. The sequel isn't. Although it's credited to Tsui Hark as director and Yuen Woo Ping as the choreographer, it bares none of the qualities that made either famous. Most of the action combines badly done CGI, even worse CGI characters, and villains in Power Rangers-quality prosthetic make up.The new Black Mask is played by newcomer Andy On, who will probably never work again. He's a horrible actor with nothing to work with. The rest of the cast is made up of people you've seen before, but don't remember. WWE superstar Rob Van Dam, ex-WCW wrestler Tyler Mane, and ex-porn star Traci Lords make up the wrestler villains, along with a token black guy to take on BM in a series of unexciting fights. They're lead by 2 guys I didn't remember until the end, one played by the shop owner from The Crow, and one played by the military dean from Episode 39 of the Sopranos. Neither do well in their cardboard cutout roles. For fans of bad movies, you might get some "so bad it's good" entertainment, since this is grade A material for that.

Summary: A great terrible film to watch.
Review: If you love bad films, this one is a must. If you don't, don't bother reading this, just forget this film ever happened. Ok here is what happens; black mask dude doesn't like Goggle Guy. Goggle Guy doesn't like blask mask dude. They fight. People who couldn't make the grade for a WWC league appearance take hormone injections that make them into power-ranger monsters that fight black mask dude. Goggle guy is eventually defeated, after a great scene where he is hanging in the middle of a room by wires for god knows what reason. Surreal, bizarre, awful. Enjoy.

Summary: asian x-men?
Review: It could be the worst tsui-hark's movies i've ever seen. I don't kno why, i'm sure he could make it better if he had more bugdet. The movie looks so cheesy, bad fx, bad make uo and bad acting, and bad dialog. The selling point of this movie probably is the action, however i found nothing interesting, it just similiar with other asian martial art movie. The story is not original, even i can say it is just asian version x-men, where you can also find wolferine, mistique, etc. I think Tsui-Hark might have lost his idea. Indeed, if you want to watch asian martial art movies that are directed by Tsui Hark, better you get these titles; once upon a time in china 1-4, swordmen 2, and black mask 1.

Review: jet li wasn't inthis movie :)
this was an ok dvd. the fighting is on point. The actting is hmm.. unique. It'svery comic booky. Black masks hair annoyed me.
They fleshed him outsome more character wise, but I alwayswonder how do vigilante heros afford all the cool stuff they have since they don't work. i'd say part 2 goes ina different direction then one. 2 is lighter, he's not as brooding, andthere are room for sequals now withthe introduction NEW CHARACTERS who lived till the end of the movie :)

Summary: Hi, My name is Rob Van Dam, and I'm not really an actor . .
Review: ok, nice touch trying to tie wrestling to a movie that had nothing to do with it in the first place, but it didn't work that well. The only wrestler that was even remotely good as an actor was Adam Copeland (Edge) and he didn't even get that big of a part in the first place. It's not that great of a movie, but it's fun if you like bad movies with 'alternative' casting.

Summary: City of What MASK.
Review: OK, This movie is there as a B-Rated Movie.
The CGI is to fake and yet still cool.The Fight Scenes are not like Jet Li's style.Andy On makes a great Black Mask,But I cant really except him well as I did with Jet Li.
His Style of fighting is well done with Yuen Wo Ping's Fight director.
Story:[Stinks].
Plot:[Stinks]
MOVIE:it's ok
To Buy this movie:Go ahead if you have BLACK MASK 1
Also This movie doesnt have the HIP POP soundtrack Like it did with the like the first movie.And theres Too many Monster's.
And to much to take this Movie seriouslly.
I love HK Movies,but this makes it too amature than Pro.

Summary: Black Mask II, City of Masks
Review: Read the first 3 reviews, cheesy maybe, but I found this film more like HK version of The X-men. And if any of you remember the old Tv show The Green Hornet's side-kick (Kato, Bruce Lee)Andy Oh is no Bruce Lee, just reminded me of him, guess its that mask. The movie wasn't great but neither was it bad, packed some punch. Story line could have been better, still,I enjoyed it more than most Sci-Fi Kung Fu flicks. It's the effort that counts, I bought this for Traci Lords, small part but she did a neat, and cool job, with what she had to work with, she has more talent than most give, She kicked butt!

Summary: Why oh why did they do this ? ?? ?
Review: Why? By the gods of hell did they make this movie. The first Black Mask was difficult enough to watch. This was probably the worst movie ever made. They tried to make it look like a comic book but failed. I mean the plot (if you can call it one), seamed to be written by a 10 year old with brain damage. A giant brain in a jar was given credit for creating Black Mask and another guy wearing messed up glasses. Another freak was using animal and plant DNA and splicing it with his wrestlers. Well, one wrestler freaks out and turns into probably the worst looking monster ever created. They all end up turning into really poorly thought out monsters (all except the lovely Traci Lords). The whole movie is filled with terrible CG and bad fighting. The makers of this movie tried using big named low grade actors and just E grade supporting players to try and pull this crud fest off. Tyler Mane (hoping to do better than his Sabretooth role, nope), Rob Van Dam (he really should hurt his manager for this movie), And Traci Lords (the poor woman really needs a good break, but sorry this aint it). If these people ever get together to make another movie we all should run away.
