Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Luckily we have had much rain and I finally popped these movies in.
GREAT GENERAL-the movie opens with a narrator letting you know exactly what is going to happen and the entire plot. This is not a horrible thing but the movie is. Meng Fei stars as the son of a great general who makes him take his vows like all of the other soldiers so he can lead an army and help his dad as much as he possibly can. I think Steve Tung Wai is in this though he is pretty young and has a huge helmet on all the time. Him and Meng Fei have the one decent action sequence of the movie. Fan Mei-Sheng has a good performance but otherwise this movie is a total loss. Since it seems to be based off of a true story it might be watchable for some but the little action there was was very crude especially at the end of the movie. 1/5
Picture is full screened and quality is bad but but watchable. It is just extremely washed out.
LAND OF THE BRAVE-this was a nice little surprise. Not a great movie but Nick Cheung with one of his better roles. He plays it straight-faced throughout. You only get a glimpse of his charm and that is only when you first meet him. In the early 1900's Japan invaded China and in this movie I guess they haev their sights set on destroying an electrical plant. Cheung plays a worker at the plant who ends up being the leader of this band of people who look to stop the Japanese. The fighting is classic basher style and the end fight is great. Unfortunately all of the other fights are average and just like most bashers, the story is a tough watch at times. Though if you like old cheap kung fu flicks from 1971-1975 with plenty of nudity then this is right up your alley. 2.5/5
Picture on this is not too bad and is in a 16:9 format though the picture is a bit stretched.
