A great film for Tsui Hark fans

Inspired by the book "Tracks in Snowy Forest" and later adapted in an opera "The Taking of Tiger Mountain by Strategy" the film shows an epic battle between the People's Liberation Army and a group of ruthless bandits, all for the fate of China. This movie is definite for Tsui Hark fans.

Kudos

Great Rom-Com

One of the better more recent Rom-coms and one which most guys will probably find funny as well, in this battle of the sexes. It is predictable, but aren't they all?! It has some quite adult humour and has some very funny scenes and witty dialogue. Check it out even if you normally avoid the Rom-com genre!

Mar 9, 2018

Percy and his friends must travel through the ever changing labyrinth of Daedalus to try to save their camp. The action and use of Greek myth was still fun, but it felt very formulaic after reading the first three in the series.

Intriguing story of the internal battle to control the poor and immigrant controlled areas of a bustling and dangerous early New York.
Di Caprio is very good here as the avenging son of a gang member under the wing of William Cutting played by Daniel Day Lewis who for me steals this one as the crazy anti immigrant gang leader.

Entertaining, action packed, funny at times, nice actor's performances and battle scenes. Badass women included (they actually appear much stronger than Aquaman ?) (0 more)

DC tries as always to be darker and funnier than Marvel, and fails. CGI could be better, and the love story less cheesy in my opinion. (0 more)

Exceeded my expectations

All in all, better than most DC movies, apart from. Wonder woman.
