The second one in the series can't quite live up to the hype of the first. It's not uncommon for the second parts of trilogies to be the weakest, as their universe is already revealed in the first film and the finale is kept somewhat restrained so it can be topped in the third and final part. And that's exactly what Demon Force feels like.
There are still some very impressive scenes, Nashi is a real find and the plot is fun, but there are also some lulls (especially the bridge between the first and second part of the story) and overall it's just not as impressive as the first film. Still looking forward to part 3, but Wuershan has his work cut out for him.
