Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Katie Jurek I'm really not a fan of these types of movies. The plot was so weak I could barely identify it until the end, and it was just too over-the-top for me to enjoy it much.
demi-20590 OK this is a very short review. normally i prefer very hard and brutal fighting movies like the Raid or the new dredd movie, I cant explaine why, but I love this movie so so so so much cause of it's style! I hope the maker of this this movie will do anothter one with the same style. Normally I watch a movie only one time, but this one I have have seen now ten times or more! Please more of it! And yes, its 5 am in the morning and iam a little drunkt :) :)
rhkoehler Kung Fu Hustle is a movie about Kung Fu masters facing one another, protecting one another, and battling the Axe Gang. I have never heard of this movie and I was told to watch it for my final for my Perspectives class and I truly did not have high hopes for this movie, but I was wrong! This movie was absolutely great and I enjoyed watching it so much. It was such a good mix of feelings for the viewer as well. You felt sad at some points, you felt happy in others, and the rest of it was just plain exciting. I can not tell you how much I laughed during this movie and I was watching it with my mother as well, she thought it was weird but she laughed multiple times. The movie also has an interesting mixture of time periods and mixing of different cultures. It was sort of like a western film, mixed with roaring 20's, mixed with old school gangs and mafias like in "The Godfather", mixed with a goofy Stephen Chow movie. I thought the story line was goofy, yet exciting and I would totally recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a goofy Chinese Kung Fu movie. I honestly wish there was a remake of this movie!
Thao Ho I've seen all of Stephen's movies. All of the 1990's one are his funniest movies, but Kung Fu Hustle is what his heart truly wants. All of those people who said that he did not put his heart into making this movie are basically shallow. All of his ridiculous comedy movies were not written by him, he just acted because he liked acting, not because he liked the plots that those writers wrote. He wanted to earn enough money so that he could make his own movies, which reflected what he truly loved. He loves and respects Kung Fu. This is the reason why Kung Fu Hustle did not include lots of funny scenes like other movies that he starred in. He wanted to focus more on Kung Fu and less on slapstick. I respect Stephen Chow for what he has done. This movie totally got me. It teaches me that being the strongest means being able to inspire others. Asian movie cannot surpass Western movie in term of CGI, but it definitely has more meaningful lessons that the audience can learn from.
