The protagonists are very powerful, the special effects are well done, and the martial arts are also wonderful. My favorite scene is the carriage chasing on the cliff, which is really thrilling. Andy Lau is still as dedicated as ever, and the scene where he cuts his hair with scissors in the film looks very real.
But after watching the movie, I always feel a little uncomfortable. What is the reason?
Is it because its conception is outdated, it does not break through the old "Shaolin Temple", and after all, it is to persuade people to be kind, "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot" or something like that? It's not that it's a bad idea, but it's not out of the norm, and it's nothing new. Why do you want to remake it again by borrowing the name of an old movie? Do you want to use the name of the old "Shaolin Temple" to get another vote in the market? Then why did it take two hours to shoot, and it seemed that people were a little sleepy at the end. It is estimated that a lot of blood plasma bags should be used in the film, and the blood is flowing.
Then I figured out why I was upset. The biggest reason is that the film chose the wrong schedule. Fighting and killing is more exciting, but shouldn't the Chinese New Year have a cheerful atmosphere? After watching this film, I feel that my eyes are bleak and my heart is blocked.
At the end of the film, the little monk said to the monk, Jackie Chan, "The temple is gone." I didn't read the subtitles, but when I listened to the dialogue with a little Henan accent, I heard in a trance , "It's gone." , the house monk - Jackie Chan, and Liu's wife - Fan Bingbing is still alive in the end, and the other big and small characters, including Andy Lau, are all dead.
Personally, I still look forward to Jay Chou's "The Green Hornet". In that film, Zhou is not the protagonist, but the funny fat man - Seth Rogen. I hope it will be more funny and less boring fights. The audience brought more happy New Year atmosphere; there is also "The Fantastic Heroes" produced by Chen Kexin, as long as it is not as vulgar and boring as last year's "Hanatian Wedding 2010", there should still be something funny and interesting.
