Canto Movie Madness

Probably way too much violent, Chinese, gangster movies for my own good but oh well.

Legendary Assassin: Simple almost pointless story line but lots of intense epic fighting. Stars Jacky Wu and Celina Jade which I think made a pretty sweet couple cause they're both so awesome. Romance and sappy stuff was very short lived. But epic matrix style ninja fight almost? made up for it? Had to end with Jack breaking every single bone in his body for it too be right. Excuse the sarcasm, I enjoyed it, I did. Just that the story was a little hard to fully grasp.

Head in a bowling ball+1

Flashpoint: Super excessive beating action with Donnie Yen. Awesome action and shooting. Good story. Right amount of drama and romance. =)
Guns +1
Cast: Donnie Yen, Louis Koo +2
Romance +1
Ass shooting in mid air +1
Excessive beating -1

Fatal Move: Jacky Wu, Sammo Hung, Simon Yam... SPL cast with probably even more excessive throat slashing and just general body dismemberment. LOL Way more of a story line compared to Legendary Assassin but pretty complicated. Very "Mo Gan Do" triad style. ;)

Invisible/ Invincible Target: Jacky Wu!! Yeah, Legendary Assassin sorta put me in a phase. He's evil though which is kind of a bummer. Interesting revenge fueled movie. Cool mix of characters and loads of people beating. Not near as intense as the others and a little surreal in parts. But enjoyable and exciting. My only problem was that Nick Tse should have died twice
Cast: Jaycee Chan, Nicholas Tse +3
Cold blooded Mandarin speaking Jacky -2
Action intensity +2
Nades, lots of gernades +2
Story +1
Length of end fight-->Jacky's death -3

*Based on purely my own opinion*


And I've been watching some Infernal Affairs but those are waay too complicated and twisted for me to understand. The last one goes back and forth into the past every five mins its mind screwing. I give up. I'll stick with the numbing rage face beating and machine gun spraying thank you very much. :) I will let y'all know about the next movie I hit up!
