This should win the award "fastest cutting ever in a film". Setting your playback speed to 0.5 is advised!
Those action scenes are so rapidly cut that I bet they just used still images someone took on his phone because the main camera wasn't rolling. You can't see shit!!! In the fight scene where Bond (maybe?) was hanging from a cable is so gorram messy that you can simply look away, listen to the crashing, shooting and bursting sounds, and when the final shot was fired, you look back at the screen, see Bond looking in his straight face as if nothing has happened, and you know exactly what happened during the last eight minutes. Seriously, this is horrific editing. Even in calm moments, there are occasional cuts from one person to the other that are so fast that you barely notice it. The story might have been nice and the actual scenery and set design might have been really cool, but you simply can't see them! Particularly poor.
This was very rubbish indeed.
Excalibur (Caliburnus), sword of King Arthur, is actually Cæsar's almighty sword and wasn't forged by Merlin? Arthur is the son of Romulus Augustus who was the last imperator of Rome and Uther Pendragon, greatest King of Britain at the same time? The teacher of Romulus is actually Merlin, and he didn't put the sword into the stone, but it was Romulus himself who threw it, and it accidentally went into a rock? Man, that was some crazy crossover in the end.
Martial art at its finest in a story that is incredibly tragic.
Beautiful picture, great costume and amazing set design make this a visually stunning film.
The fights are gripping and well performed, but the long jumps could have been executed better, as the cable suspension often become obvious when actors were swinging rather than falling.
I have no idea why this is so badly rated – probably because most people expect a Hollywood blockbuster.
The weakest sauce one can watch. This is probably one of the worst ideas you can turn into a film in the 21st century.
Oh, we found the last place on earth human has not touched yet; let's get military there and bomb the shit out of this island; oh, there live giant species never seen before?; kill them all!!; we shot at a monkey who lived in peace for decades, and now he killed my comrade; throw bombs at him already! Pure destruction, pure desolation, pure arrogance. Oh, and why the actual f*ck do they throw in the hollow-earth conspiracy theory without any comment?! Sorry, but I'd rater look at ape faeces for a full day than continue with this "fun entertainment".
Also, I'm very sad to see Jing Tian in a movie like this.
What on earth was this? I have not the slightest idea what I watched there, but that is probably exactly what the writers wanted to achieve. Sadly, I couldn't relate to any of the characters or to anything at all. Not sure if that's also what the writers intended.
I'm pretty disappointed. This was basically a copy of Edge of Tomorrow with an easier plot stretched to look bigger.
The Thirty Seconds to Mars recording at the end was of such bad quality it ruined the whole movie.
