Kung Fu Jungle 一個人的武林 (2014)
Okay, Donnie Yen made a name for himself in the Ip Man 1 & 2.
Bodyguards and Assassins (2009) was okay, but every other stuff he had done so far...
This is supposed to be his "comeback" movie and it is only decent...
The Good
1) The Fighting scenes are very well done
2) Bring fist fights into modern era again is handled well
3) Paying homage to as many past and present actors/action coordinator/directors/stunt persons is greatly appreciated
4) Slick production
The Bad
1) Donnie "need" to be seen as the peoples' person comes across as forced (especially after all the "rumors about him being a prima donna, in real person)
2) The villain motive is so flimsy that you cannot even break tofu with it!!!
The Ugly
1) The minute Donnie leaves prison to help the police, I could already see the "twist" for the movie, and that is only 15 minutes into the movie, talk about anti climatic....
I can only chalk this up as nice try.
