Most entertaining martial arts movie I've seen since Tom Yum Goong, it's an absolute cult classic in the making. It doesn't waste any time getting into the action, the premise is great, the bad guys are fascinating (especially love the little right-hand man of the boss, he's the new Bolo except, well, tiny!). I just can't say enough good things about this film, it's quite simply epic!

The Hunger Games (2012) 1/5

Felt like several episodes of a low budget, poorly made American TV show ripoff of Battle Royale thrown together to make it movie length. It doesn't help that it easily has some of the worst art direction I've ever seen in a movie and a director whose idea of good action is to rapidly move the camera from side to side so the viewer has no idea what's actually happening. He makes Michael Bay's action look like an attempt at still life. I have to imagine the books are better than this tripe.

Oh I am hanging to see The Raid. This has made me want to see it anymore. Interesting opinion of The Hunger Games. Your the first person I've heard give a negative review of the film... I still want to see it, to see what the hype is about and I just hope I don't make the same mistake I did with Twilight
