Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
witster18 Granted, they had me at Donnie Yen, but then they gave me incredible production values, a fairly competent storyline, and met the action/fight-sequence quality of the first two IPman's. This was ranked 6.4 this morning, 6.5 this afternoon, and could be headed higher. It deserves it. It's a freakin' blast!The final fight is as good as the alleyway in Killzone, and a clear lack of the all-too-present drama silliness found in many of these HK action flicks. Some of the serious stuff is handled quite well. Albeit the fight scenes are still gloriously over-the-top(not sure what some were expecting reading some negative reviews - i mean isn't that wHY you rent a kung fu flick? Geesh).The "filler" is solid, decently acted fare that keeps at an even pace and keeps the audiences interested in the fate of its lead characters. If u want realism go rent "the gunman" and be bored to death with a more basic plot, realism, and seasoned actors. It will fry your brain and send u back to the redbox faster than "Get Hard". Or have fun watching a mindless, unrealistic kung fu flick - which flies by like an F-16, and is a 90-minute adrenaline rush. Highly recommend this! 65/100I will be purchasing this. You should know where u stand before u hit play. If u enjoyed "true Legend", the "police stories", "supercop" or SPL:Killzone.. Or any modern kung fu flick.. You will love this!
KineticSeoul This is a superb kung-fu flick that integrates generic kung-fu ingredients including a detective investigation revolving around murders and fighting. And the protagonist fighting for what he believes is right. But it does it well enough and entertaining enough to make it a worthy sit through. Donnie Yen is in his 50's and still killing it. The story is really comic book like, but I mean that in a good way for a movie such as this. Since it was immersive from start to finish, because of how they connected the story to the fight scenes. Even if there is quite a bit of plot holes. The plot is about this kung-fu killer that goes around killing other martial artist and the mystery surrounding the case and the motives why. It isn't a amazing story, even for a kung-fu flick standards but it works. And the actor that plays the antagonist role was the right pick in my opinion. He just does that believable expression of the man with nothing to lose who is filled with rage and has that psychotic vibe going for him. When it comes to the plot, they needed to pick the right actor to play the villain, because a lot of fight screen time is with him more than Donnie Yen. The fight choreography is very well done and brutal, you can actually see what is going on without any close shaky cam. And it still added the gripping feel to it. The cinematography is also crisp and clean, and really brings out the vibrant aspect of it all. Overall, this is a movie that is enjoyable. It isn't a mindblowing Kung-fu movie but it's still a kung-fu movie that shouldn't be missed if you like martial arts movies.7.4/10
sneakablez Very fun to watch specially if you like Kung Fu martial arts flicks. KungFu style and moves used here are very surprisingly jaw dropping stunts. It may look bit unrealistic but just for the fun and imagination that Kung Fu is a whole lot on a different level of fighting style you will definitely love it.If there's one thing I am missing on this movie is more challenging and long rival fights than easy to the top final match. Other rivals deserves something more too. Anyway but still this is really a good one from Donnie yen. A must watch.
Wenifredo Jr Miphranum The trouble with Donnie Yen movies lately is they're becoming too familiar. The movies may be different, but they somehow make you think it's the same Donnie Yen movie you've seen from last time. It's mostly because Donnie Yen casts the same actors with him again and again, and he keeps having the same movie flaws that keep his movies from becoming great. The movies usually starts off with a very promising plot with well thought of characters and story background, but then in his effort to create a deeper story he tends to lose the plot with outrageous circumstances, twists, or drama in the middle. It's no different with Kung Fu Jungle. The good thing, though, is he's still able to pull it through at the end of the movie. I can't help but feel disappointed since Donnie has so much potential to really make great movies with great fight scenes without sacrificing the story, but lately martial arts movies from Thailand or action movies from Korea and Japan are doing way much better. But, I think it's the point he makes in Kung Fu Jungle that he also wants to point out in his career: he no longer vies to be number one, he's just contented doing martial arts with the other masters in the industry.
