Such a frustrating disappointment
Captivating movie !
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Amazing - AWESOME - story of love between a husband and wife - that had me laughing out loud and tearing up so touching how they love it other so deeply. If you have to practice fighting as a couple - well you know you have a great life. Add a great small town to live in and you have a fantastic story for the whole family to enjoy! The difference of this couple from their neighbors is that both are amazing superheroes of China! That give up the life to be "normal".The special effects are martial arts perfection, and the actual love and care for each other shines through every scene.The DVD has very easy menu controls and the Eng subtitles are clear and easy to read.I am so blessed to have found this movie!! I hope you find this gem as entertaining as I do.
Sure the main characters happen to be super heroes. But in essence they are as human as can be. It is fun to see the couple romancing each other. And for once this is a production very light on drama. That would just ruin the overall vibe. The visuals are nice and certainly the highlight of the movie. No matter where you look it is one nice image after another. Why not? Not all movies have to be about something to be enjoyed. The comedy also is light so it won't make you laugh all the time. But there are enough scenes that are recognizable which makes it all very adorable. Also the pacing is not what you would expect from a movie containing super heroes. People expecting some decent action will get their money's worth. But most action scenes are very short and they only are there to put another spin on the romantic plot. Overall a very entertaining experience.
For an entertaining movie, I did not expect too much from the Kungfu or other technical effects. The plot is plain, the settings are not bad, but the director and the actors are excellent! However, I was deeply moved by the romance and true love of this superhero couple. One could just check this trailer out--on you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twk3IrPeKaQ&feature=fvsr to see how sweet this movie is. It really reminds me of my dating experience with my husband six years ago. When love melts into everyday life, there is not too much thrill. Though we can strongly feel secure, calm, and happy in everyday routine life, just like this unique couple.
Time was the studios of Hong Kong turned out three wildly entertaining movies most weeks. Since the mainland took over, your are lucky to get a couple a year and this one, despite heavy promotion, is not one of them.A super hero comedy, the film rips off KUNG FU HUSTLE and The INCREDIBLES. Masked & cloaked Gezar Man Koo and Aroma Woman Ng have given up on their secret identities to settle in a small village, with domestic complications in her doing all the work and the non arrival of a baby. Their past catches up with them, when an Imperial secret martial arts tournament arrives there. Intriguingly, comedienne Ng is still about, where those striking beauties of the great days of Kong Kong film have dropped out. Her strident character irritates at this length but she and the costumes are the best elements in the film. In sub-titles, the comedy is leaden and the effects work falls behind the every day excellence we are used to now.
