Fellas, just took in Storm Warriors:

It was every bit as bad as the trailer made it out to be. Cloud, Wind and Nameless rip up the screen. 9/10 flying swords.

Just finished with Bodyguards and Assassins aka Shi yue wei cheng (December 2009)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1403130/

Came away unimpressed.

The story wasn't gripping. Couldn't care less about the characters and the revolution movement. They just didn't drag you into their cause. I suppose history buffs might know enough about the events to appreciate what's taking place but as a new comer, I was not sold.

When the action did start, it had its moments but almost felt out of place. Like they suddenly changed gears or stitched two movies together.

One a historical time piece about revolutionaries in china, the other, a kung fu kick up with big names like Donnie Yen and Cung Le, complete with old kung fu master fighting with an iron fan!

either way, it's uninspired.

I'll give it 5/10 Dead Activists

Who want to see this one.....?

DO WANT!!!

As an old-school kung-fu AND Wu-Tang fan, I MUST HAVE THIS!!!

hmm i took in bodyguards and assassins and loved it. i do know some versions had crappy subs though.

really enjoyed it yes, far from mediocre in my opinion. thing is it isn't primarily a kickup. Acting was pretty decent as well imo.

Berzerk · « **Reply #27 on:** May 19, 2010, 06:47:51 PM »

I hadda say, True Legend was bloody epic. One of the best shows Ive seen for the year.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #28 on:** May 19, 2010, 08:42:44 PM »

Watched this last night. Even better than Ip Man 2. Oh yes...I said BETTER. You mad?

You should be RUNNING to watch this one.

You STILL here!!?

OMG @ Ong Bak 3. Even the music was epic, lol.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #32 on:** November 18, 2010, 12:21:07 AM »

You know is amazing to see such epic kick ups like True Legend, failing at the box office.

Just read the wiki.

Quote

True Legend (simplified Chinese: 苏乞儿; traditional Chinese: 蘇乞兒; pinyin: Sū qǐ ér) is a 2010 Chinese-Hong Kong martial arts film starring Vincent Zhao, Zhou Xun, Jay Chou, Michelle Yeoh, Andy On, and Guo Xiaodong. It was directed by Yuen Woo-Ping. The film also features one of the final performances by actor David Carradine, who died in a bizarre accident in Bangkok during post-production. Even though the film failed at the box office making only RMB46.5 million ($6.82 million) it did in fact re-ignited Zhao's movie acting career

Dunno wtf people really looking for in an action movie nowadays yes. Or maybe its just that people not going cinema to see 'em anymore. Direct download or dvd idmc.

I hope they find a way to capitalize these films though. Would be a real shame for 'em to go the way of the dodo yes.

Like a steam for movies. Wouldn't mind paying a lil us$5.00 a pop or something.

14 Blades here I come.

Q · « **Reply #33 on:** November 18, 2010, 12:33:18 AM »

I hear yuh Wyatt. Maybe they should go international. I don't mind paying a movie price to see it. Ip Man was dah SHIZNIT on the big screen.

*Being the only translator in CC8 with no subs was a nice ego boost too.*

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #34 on:** November 20, 2010, 02:07:30 PM »

lol @ translator @ cc8.

Now finish 14 Blades.

Good lord, rate this one a whopping 14 out of 14 blades.

Perfect.

Donnie has mastered the art of the kick up. Best I've seen in a while.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #35 on:** November 21, 2010, 11:50:16 AM »

Kung Fu Master (2010)

The Supreme Swordsman

That is all.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #36 on:** November 21, 2010, 12:14:06 PM »

lol, they went all out with those names boy. Kung Fu Master.

Archer · « **Reply #37 on:** February 05, 2011, 01:19:25 AM »

Donnie Yen.....need I say more?

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #38 on:** February 05, 2011, 01:32:39 PM »

Nice, could do with a next Donnie.

Seeing April as the release window.

Took in Supreme Swordsman. It's an oldie but goodie. I assumed was a 2010 released from Arcman's post but we talking 1984 vintage.

Still, a solid 8 broken swords out of 10

Next stop, Kung Fu Master

Keep 'em comin

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #39 on:** February 06, 2011, 05:22:11 PM »

steups @ kung fu master.

Had real high hopes but it was lukewarm.

I'll give that 6 invincible shaolin monks out of 10

Was a dubbed version, so that might have hurt the rating. The english voice acting was atrocious.
