This won't be as good as Avatar


So suck it, Chinese government.

If anything Hollywood movies are the ones that suck!

I haven't seen Avatar nor do I have any inclination to do so, on the contrary I would like to see Confucius.

Avatar was amazing and I'd like to see Confucius, although they're not comparable.

Different genre, different audience, different plot, different everything. So how can you compare the two movies?

The fact that you said "this WON'T be as good" means that you haven't even seen the movie yet and that your opinion is based on your dislike for the Chinese government. I've seen both films and they both impressed me a lot.

Thank god you aren't a movie critic and that no one takes you seriously.

I agree, Chinese movies are too pretentious.

Why don't you watch it first? That's like comparing Star Wars to Curse of the Golden Flower, they're not alike in any way, despite being great.

reply

Curse of the Golden Flower was quite bad, IMO, and that's coming from a Chinese likey myself.

Well I was so looking forward to this epic, but not anymore. I was a huge fan of Chow Yun Fat until I saw "DREAM LOVERS". This movie was described as a drama, but ten minutes into this flick came this hardcore porno scene scene that revolted me. I hate porno, and I thought this actor had more decency, more class than was displayed here.It was filmed in such a way that there could be no doubt that cyf and this co-star really did what it looked like they did. Then I learned that he admitted in an interview that earlier on in his career he did many hardcore movies. Well, I don't like to see people having sex on screen or anywhere else. That to me is pure filth. I'm no longer a fan. He's shameless and sleazy.Action star indeed,I don't think so. I do wonder though what his wife thought about him fondling other women's genitals before humping her for all the world to see!!

You've got to be kidding... you're complaining about this film? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091510/

Brigitte Lin and Chow Yun Fatt are two of the most prolific and respected actors in yesteryear Hong Kong cinema, and while I haven't seen it, it's hard to believe that this is a sexploitation flick, much less a 'hardcore porno'. I wonder if you even understand what the term means.

If the sight of people doing one of the two natural things that all living creatures do disgusts you, I do hope your genes (and memes) stop right there.

The offending clip involves Chow and Cher Yeung, some unknown film person. The scenes with him and Brigitte mostly involves rolling around on the floor on top of each other fully clothed, thank goodness. I expected a ghost story when I read that it was something to do with reincarnated past lovers, not this cheap sleazy production. Actually I don't like anything about this movie. At best, it is just downright ridiculous, at worse, adding that sex scene only served to make it even more laughable. I found it by googling Brigitte Lin's videos and then searched DREAM LOVERS. HAve a peek.

You mean as popular?

McDonald is extremely popular, but is it the best food? :p

Considering Avatar has grossed a small country's GDP so far, by twisting the goal posts, NO movie can be as good, No.....? WRONG
