Review of Badges of Fury

Review: I really tried hard to keep interested in this film, but my eyes couldn't take the bloody subtitles that were moving way too fast. I ended up just watching the fighting scenes, which were really ridiculous because of the string action. The music is annoying throughout the movie, and the characters look like there making fools of themselves throughout the film. As for plot line, I haven't got a clue what was going on because I only looked at the screen a few times. I got tricked by the poster, because I thought that it was going to be a Jet Li movie with loads of action, but I hardly saw him in the film. I might have enjoyed the movie if I could speak the language, but it just wasn't for me. Disappointing.

Round-Up: Whatever did happen to Jet Li? There was a time when he was popping up in American movies, showing off his fighting skills, but he seems to have gone off the radar. A lot of these fighting star do a tour in Hollywood for a couple of years and then there contract runs out and there not heard of again. The same thing happen to Jackie Chan with his Rush Hour franchise which seemed to dry up after a while. Anyway, I'm not liking this new way of filming Kung fu movies with the characters flying everywhere on strings and doing really unbelievable stunts. I'm a fan of the old school movies like Thundering Mantis and Drunken Master, so this movie just didn't work for me.

I recommend this movie to people who are into there silly Hong Kong movies with some action but a ridiculous storyline. 1/10
