Definitely not the Indian movie which deserves to be the first one to be produced by Warner Bros... specially after the much-acclaimed Slumdog Millionaire

Dude these are mostly foriegn reviews and trust me, They are better than What Indian critics have rated the movie. They have torn apart the movie almost. Its average rating stands at 1.9/5 (Indian reviews).

2.5/5 (you call this bad !!!! Even ghajini was not rated this. !!)

you call this bad.. !!
Movie is gr8 yaar.

[–] vishwas-verma 15 years ago

Please read the reviews in detail.. then u'll get to know how bad the reviews are.. u call 1/4 equivalent to "not bad" then when is it?

On rottentomatoes.com, only 8% of reviews are positive...

Anyway.. these opinions hardly matter for people who like these kind of movies.. so its gonna make loads of money...

[–] Ihab_M 15 years ago

Ghajini had a very good response from Indian reviewers. Plus its average ratings from all critics is almost 3.5/5. CC2C officially has the score 1.9/5 but I counted some more and its coming upto 1.8/5!

Not good... Damn poor that is.

Ghajni would of been shattered if it got International review,but this is different with CC2C, no international critics has rated it 1, some of them he gave an average review also gave positive parts as well. Indian reviewers are dumb,they do notlike to appreciate something new in terms of entertainment.

[–] Ihab_M 15 years ago

Indian reviewers are dumb? All of them? Why did all rate it poor? It was one of the most anticipating movies of all time. Plus you talk about foriegn reviewers, go and check rottentomatoes how foriegn reviews have been. 3, THREE, out of 15, have been positive. Its score is 20%. and its average rating is 4.4/10. So much for Foreign reviews being better than Indian. CC2C is getting bashed everywhere. Indians toh have hated it. Even public response was bad today. I saw on Tv. And also my friends told me not to go for the movie. I wouldn't have payed heed to opinions of people here on imdb, but everyone from critics to audience have disliked the movie.

What say you now acmilan? Check out its opening. Now are you going to say boxofficeindia.com is biased?

Saw it today and I thought it was great. The group in the theater which was a mix of all cultures was thoroughly entertained. It's also balanced out a bit to close to 50% on rottentomatoes.

Seriously, it was a fun-movie. Kung fu hustle was on the imdb top 250. and indians dont like such kind of movies just because they didnt realise that kungfu is in reality what was shown in cc2c i.e. unbelievable and absurd-sort-of. i think it needed a little proper editing. otherwise, one my memorable movies. its kind of "over the top slapstick stuff"
