Very best movie i ever watch
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
By the time Hong Kong films its third film featuring African bushman N!xau, his character has really gotten pretty commercialized and ridiculed into goofiness and idiocy. In this film, the bushman supposedly travels to Beijing where he's recruited to join a track team on a survival race through the Chinese wilderness.Plenty of unfunny nonsensical comic stuff and goofy acting, with a plot that really goes all over the place. OK to give it a pass.Grade D--
Maybe a small child will find it funny, prompted by the music and cartoon sounds, but the things meant to be funny are just plain stupidity.I've read bad reviews before, where the reviewer totally bashes the movie they are reviewing. I am not one to do that. I like many things others dislike. But this is just HORRIBLE! I paid $20 to purchase it, along with parts 3 and 4 ($20 for each)) on a VCD, because I had been looking for them everywhere, then saw someone selling the VCD's on Amazon.com. That was the biggest waste of money I ever spent I think. Part 3 was decent, as was part 4, even though it had absolutely NOTHING to do with The Gods Must Be Crazy, except that it was crazy for them to associate it to the series.
No matter how funny you may think it would be to rent out this "sequel" to the Gods Must be Crazy, believe me when you pop it in the VCR and start watching it the word "excruciating" will take on a whole new meaning.
Terrible! - if one word could describe this movie, this is it. The acting is atrocious and the storyline is non-existent. The supposed 'funny bits' will only make you cringe and you are forever waiting for the end to come. If you haven't watched it yet - save yourself the time.
