Spoiled by one thing.


Hi All

Just watched Arahan jangpung daejakjeon, and really enjoyed it. But, and I know I'm going to upset a lot of people by saying this, it was spoiled by too much fighting.

If the fighting was reduced by at least half it would be brilliant, but the fight at the end just went bloody on and on, I was on the verge of turning it off when they eventually stopped.

Great film, shame about the jumping around on wires hitting each other (yet again).

i love the wire work, with all their swords, arms and legs. nice movements. the fight scene near the end was a tad long, but overall it's a great film. enjoyed it heaps

Are you serious? I hope your post was a joke. The fighting is the essence of the movie. Watch more films like this and you'll see, its about silly plots and serious martial arts.

Totally serious.

I know lots of teenage kids who know no better and have not discovered the true merit of Asian Cinema have difficulty with this, but jumping around on wires ad infinitum is NOT what makes a film good.

Hi

It's a martial arts movie.
I disagree, I see it as an action comedy with a bit of romance, and a bit of (too much of IMHO) martial arts thrown in.

If all you can see is a martial arts movie, then that validates what I said above.

Did you ever notice that people who believe in creationism look really un-evolved?
