Many guys find yesterday picture to be a real nightmare. HAHAHAHA. Now they will be experiencing goosebumps everytime they take a pee! Wakakakaka.
On another note, yesterday i planned for a great nite of movie wif sum frens but guess wad happen, the tickets for 7pm onwards Storm Warrior II shows was completely sold out!!! I was like "WTH!!??". The plan had to be canceled and i thought it was really such a waste since me and another 2 fren was already there. So instead of wasting the rm1 parking, i decided to try my luck on the 5.15 show instead and i was like "WTH!!!???" [AGAIN!!] when i found out the cinema was practically empty...
Ok, b4 i watched the movie, i went through sum rating and reviews through the net and also through word of mouths from my fren. The comments i heard was really very contradicting as it went from "superbly marvelous" to "insanely stupid". Nevertheless, i decided to take a stab at it and this is my own personal view of the movie.
4/5 - Storyline
I think the script writer and the director did a really gud job trying to make an otherwise what should have been a really really long story into a 2 hour movie without missing out too much important details. I followed the comics and although there were quite a lot of deviation and alteration from the original storyline, but it was still a great piece of work if you ask me since the original Fung Wan storyline is very dark and a lot of gud ppl turn bad and a lot of gud character die which wouldnt really do well if adapted into movie. At the very least, the beginning and the end remain more or less similar and the altered storyline gave quite a fresh perspective on the whole story. It was also much better than other adaption i know which practically miss out all the important detail and rich content of its original masterpiece. Im not one to naming names but Harry Potter is one such example that did a poor movie adaption. Tsk Tsk.
4/5 - Special Effects
The movie used really a lot of special effects. Too much actually, that it really kills most of the fighting scene although it does make the movie very flashy and entertaining at certain time.
2/5 - Fight Scene
Like i said earlier, too much special effects. Who the hell would want to watch aaron kwok standing there swinging his ultimate superior sword at empty air while watching black colored smoke emitted from his wild swing to attack his enemy? No! We want actual battle, actual clashing of swords, actual blood (as if! haha). Not some standstill special effect battle. If we want special effect, we will watch Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. LOL. There was always WAY too much slow mo scene. It would be cool if it was utilize at the right timing, but too much of a good thing will spoil the whole darn thing. So yea, the battle scene was really terrible. There was only a few good solid fighting scene.
So, if you are planning to watch it as just another movie with interesting storyline, then by all means, go ahead. You are planning to watch the movie expecting sum really good fighting scene, i suggest you watch Assassin & Bodyguard instead =)
