Took some time off from all the projects i have to do during the weekend to catch some movies. Watched stealth on saturday and seven swords on sunday. For the first time ever i made a mistake buying the movie tickets for stealth, wah it proved to be a very embarrasing situation because the tickets were for 11.45am...but i wanted a midnight show, luckily though the management was kind enough to reprint the tickets for us for the midnight show. Fortunately we were early for the movie too so we didn't miss anything, hahaha. Anyway i found stealth to be only so so, nothing special la....predictable and straight forward story line. So saturday wasn't really an completely enjoyable day, cause the movie wasn't hell great and i was all stressed out because of the tickets. But i will take full responsibility la because it was my fault for not checking the tickets properly. Thank goodness it was all resolved and we still got to watch the movie.
I really enjoyed sunday however, so its all good....I'd have to say, seven swords has got to be the best kung fu movie i have seen in a very very very very long time. There wasn't any CG in any of the fighting scenes which makes the action look real. The show really reminds of of Tsui Hark's classic Wong Fei Hong. But i didn't really appreciate the way the story was told in the beginning because the story jumps around alot and there wasn't really much character building, so you actually won't know much of the main characters background. The seven swords also are suppose to have unique abilities which were described on the movies main website...However only a few of the swords (out of seven) actually showed its prowess most notable the dragon sword. Sigh wish i could read chinese then i'll just go read the books to know who is who and what happened and blah blah blah blah blah....hrm, maybe next time when more free la i should go pick up chinese, lol.
