honestly , the story line of shaolin soccer is well defined and it has it's own asthetic value inside the story line , except the ending of the shaolin soccer which is a little bit too sudden. biasalah for chowshingchii ending style .
kungfu hustle is slightly dropped below shaolin soccer , the ending is too kua cheong but still the story line is so so , i would say it is still ok to be watched but enough to disappoint the audience .
CJ7 is not really a good movie . yes it is a drama than a comedy , but it doesnt serve itself good enough as a drama. certain plots is there which is good, such as the kid's mark got 65, and the kid cheated in the exam by modifying the mark. but the story line plot is not well connected. some sort of it sounds like a drama , but it doesnt work as a drama.
things like suddenly the bad boys become the good friends of the small kid. Meanwhile the fighting between the fat 'girl' and the fat boy is completely disaster for the movie, out of a sudden the kid got the power of the little monster , the poo part is lame. It is just some stupid move where me you or he can write. Think of some kua cheong scene inside the dream , and the real life it is a disappointment. The worst thing is the small alien monster, it was mean to be a commercial item IMHO, why bother to make it comes with all those stupid hand-body-movement which makes it looks al-cheapo, i know it might be used in the austinpower or someother movie. But please bear in mind, if the monster's normal movement is by using it's own leg like human standing , then it is okay to have such movement. Suddenly use the movement of the human is completely off which is
a major turn off for the movie.sorry for my harsh word, CJ7 deserved 1 out of 5 point . some people will just say that i thought it is a comedy or whatsoever, but yes , i was expecting it as a comedy, but when it is a drama , i will look at it from the point of a drama. the fact still remains that the story line sounds too messy and not well defined, it's like u got good ingredients to make a cake but u ended up with wrong steps when trying to set-up the cake, get what i mean.
I would say that among chow sing chii movie, the god of comedy is one of the worst in terms of comedy. but heck i would vote it as one of the best recent movie which he has done, becasue it is more like a drama, it works like a drama , no kua cheong stuff int he ending . and that is really the story line of the drama . For this CJ7 , sorry , no point having such lame movie .
1. They are small kids for goodness sake.
2. Maybe only a minority will think it's a turn off. I don't think it's a turn off, in fact, it shows more of the alien.
3. He himself already said that it's a drama, and not a slapstick comedy. =_=
Just my 2cents.
