Much like the first one.

Preposterous Kung Fu.
Preposterous Stunts of numerous kinds.
Preposterous plot twists.
Preposterous number of costume changes.
Utterly, utterly preposterous bit with a helicopter
(<geek class="planespotter">Kamov Ka-52, I think. They even manage a cool-looking helicopter</geek>)

I loved it.

I've seen interviews with Ang Lee and he seems to have been really trying to make it into a work of real drama and meaning. I guess he didn't quite appreciate how hard it is to turn someone else's mythos around.
