Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted April 1, 2014 Member Share Posted April 1, 2014 Others have been saying that, but I think Jaa has become a case of "too bright too soon". Iko has been working his way up slowly from film to film to film. Between the overblown Ong-Bak prequels and the CG-infested TYG2, he needs a good comeback. I *am* still curious to see how he fares in Fast & Furious 7 though. Iko does seem more in line with Jet though. Yeah, Jaa might have peeked early but we'll see come FF7.

Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted April 3, 2014 Member Share Posted April 3, 2014 I find it a bit funny when critics say they like the first movie because of its simplicity. No bitch, you like the first movie because it was an easy film to sit through and review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted April 4, 2014 Member Share Posted April 4, 2014 So the Alamo Drafthouse being the cool theater that they are, is doing a double feature for the world premiere, Fuck yes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member paimeifist Posted April 4, 2014 Member Share Posted April 4, 2014 So the Alamo Drafthouse being the cool theater that they are, is doing a double feature for the world premiere, Fuck yes!! Yah the Alamo near me in Winchester, VA already told me they wouldn't show it when I asked. They also said they couldn't show a Shaw movie when I asked them to when Run Run passed away, something to do with the reel sizes or format. . So I'll have to take an hour and a half trip to see it, but I commute that far to work so it's not too bothersome. Just sucks, I really like the Alamo, but it seems all the other Alamo locations do all this cool kung fu shit, and mine doesn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks you have to drive an hour plus away to see this, I hope the experience is worth it. I guess it depends on the programmer at the Alamo. Our programmer down here in Houston shows every genre you can think of, which is pretty cool to say the least. April 11th, double feature, can't freaking wait!!!

Member OldPangYau Posted April 5, 2014 Member Share Posted April 5, 2014 Saw this tonight... I have no words... in my 28 years of watching movies, no film has left me feeling truly shaken, exhausted, and about to pass out until I saw this. Suddenly the first film, which I love, feels like small potatoes compared to this. Are there slow sections in this film? Yes. But you know what? They help build the tension for the action sequences, thus giving them for more meaning and intensity than the first film. And yes, everything you've read/heard about the last two fights are true. Never have I seen fight scenes more brutal than those two. Btw, the final fight definitely has a LOT of (subtle) nods to the final fight from The Big Boss, so that made me happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mark187 Posted April 5, 2014 Member Share Posted April 5, 2014 come on man, you've got me salivating haha! seriously though, what's up with the Alamo in Kalamazoo, cool Kung Fu screenings there?

Member Drunken Monk Posted April 6, 2014 Member Share Posted April 6, 2014 The film is magnificent. Just magnificent. Amazing characters, a gripping plot and the most well executed action since...well...the first film. There were cheers and applause during my screening as well as dozens of "Oohs" and "Ouches." Everyone in the film delivers and that last thirty minutes? Heaven. Sheer martial arts ecstasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member OldPangYau Posted April 7, 2014 Member Share Posted April 7, 2014 Oh man... My son and I are going to see the first showing on opening day here. Can't freaking wait! I'm hoping to drag my dad to meet up with me to see this... he loves the first one, and I know he'd be all over this one. I mean, this is a man who saw Enter the Dragon 18 times in the theaters. At least that's what he's told me over the years Btw, this is the music that plays during the final scene before the credits... depending on one's way of looking at/analyzing things, this may or may not be considered a spoiler But it's a great piece of music regardless: qvPUTyqlCT4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
