Shock & Bore  Execrable

Rating: 1/10 (22 October 2005)

Shocked and Bored !
Montage or Pastiche ? Pistaccios to it ! Eye candy with no plot.
I will not show this film to my family, I would be dis-honoured I would lose face ! Beautiful settings and historical settings are not enough to make a film. Or a good one anyway? The eye of the camera has replaced the grey matter of the mind. Big battle scene with loads of arrows  so what ? My name is Robin, I can pull an English 'Long-Bow'. The arrows scene was pathetic !
Only my love for Zhang Zi Yi sustained me through this arrant nonsense.
Mystical/Oriental covers a multitude of sins. The sins are poor acting, no characterisations, no story, NO HERO !
Tripe & Onions !
How many on this web site have said beautiful or wonderful ?
The effect of hashish and cocaine knows no boundaries ?
Put the brain in gear !
Do not be seduced by the pseudo-Sino film sets.
This is rubbish !
To show this to my family I would lose respect, face & honour !
Pathetic !
There is no such thing as a mysterious unfathomable Oriental mind ? Pull out your wallet and count out a few large notes and you will find the depth of the alleged Oriental mystique.
Like this film as shallow as the thickness of the said bank note.
Dire ! HMV I want the money back I paid for this CD.
-No wait a minute I will buy a few pirate copies in Bangkok for a pittance.
Kurasawa please don't turn in your grave  it will be a wasted effort.
Look for better scripts in a Kindergarten.
