Fascinating and well done animation, but the story is just down right awful, boring, and makes very little sense.

First movie was unique in many ways. This one is crap. Worse plot, worse script, irrational flow of events, and the bloodshed is not original anymore. Adds nothing to the first movie but takes many things away.

I know I'm in the minority in this but I didn't like the animation at all nor the choreography. In fact is actively disliked the voice acting, line delivery, dialogue, story and pretty much everything else in this. I didn't have high expectations as I was severely underwhelmed with the first installment but this in my opinion was still a letdown.

Oddly enough, I found this quite a bit more entertaining as a general story, compared to the previous movie's blaxploitation parody. Jackson is still cool, and Liu and Hammill were awesome additions as well. The story is cliche, but I think between the fights and weird but cool animation style, that can be overlooked. Kinda cool.

How often is it that a film tie-in ends up being better than the original? Hardly ever in my experience but "Resurrection" is just that. The average story is still present from the series, and there's quite a bit of recycling, but everything has been upped here, although as fantastic as Lucy Liu is, I would have preferred a re-appearance from Ron Perlman. Definitely my favorite non-family animated movie.

Both the tv series and movie is disgusting and one of the worst animation I've seen. Only redeeming factor is the stylish renderings which are also let down with the stupidity of action.

A movie used to milk the TV series. And it had terrible writing and boring action.
