MCT:March 24, 2008Not a direct sequel, DOA2: Birds is less excessive than its' predecessor. How could it not be?
Sho Aikawa and Riki Takeuchi return in different roles in a different plot involving assassins assassinating the assassins (where have I heard that before?)
The first might be a stronger story and packed with vices that would make a junkie tremble, but the sequel is stronger filmmaking. Funny, emotional, and disturbing, Miike's DOA sequel is almost an echo of Takeshi Kitano's Sonatine, in a good way.

Miike achieves something very unique here. Another proof that Miike knows how to put a balance between the madness and the calm. Oh yeah, a midget gets shot by 3 guns at the same time, and a guy with a gigantic penis gets killed too. Go watch it right now.

A great sequel. The film unfolds slowly and is more oriented towards the psychology of the characters, the drama and some light humor. However, the action is intact somehow. EXTREMELLY RECOMENDABLE if you liked the first one. It is claimed to be the best one in the trilogy, and that statement is very believable.

MCT:December 27, 2007Very reserved in comparison to 'Dead or Alive.' An interesting character study. Part two (and my personal favorite of) the 'Dead or Alive' trilogy.

MCT:December 21, 2007Awesome gangster film with great yakuza action and yet manages to be touching too. Miike is truly one of the greatest filmmakers working today.
-
MCT:October 15, 2007Not quite sure what direction Miike was heading with this one. Once again, a Japanese version of Mulholland Drive as compared to the first installment. Same characters, but an attempt of a back/alternate story. Might be considered a prequel to the original. Not relying on shocking images or a fast paced action, but this film gets its strength from a slowly unfolding plot.

Don't think that the plot of this film has anything to do with the first in the series, Dead Or Alive.

not as good as the first one, but has its moments and I liked how both the characters were friends in this one.

The two leads return, but playing completely different people in a completely different story (the same is true of DoA 3).

I enjoyed this movie more then the first one. Not really a sequel (you'd have to see the ending of the first one to know that it would be impossible to ever do a sequel to it.)
