I'm an easy going person, and I never think so much about a movie during or after watching it. The last show that I condemned was Twilight, coz the actors and actresses have looks no skills.
The new Chinese Ghost Story was just a little bit of winning the loser title from Twilight. It provided a few funny moments, which made not as bad as Twilight.
There were some movies parts knocked off, Pirates of the Caribbean: the villages had tree barks growing all over them. Looked too much like those Davy Jones' crew. Then there were the two snake demons, Green snake and White snake. Of all things, why green and white snakes? CGI not bad, but the fox a bit too fake lah. The female lead as Xiao Qian, innocent looking, but not sexy enough. Ning Cai Chen, what an idiot. Yan Chi Xia, handsome but love moron.
Some parts that I find it ridiculous. If they could be killed easily with the swords, why set up a formation to kill Xiao Qian? Yan Chi Xia asked Ning Cai Chen to free him (he was tied up) so that he could break the formation and save Xiao Qian. The reason he told Ning Cai Chen was only he knew how to break the formation. At this point, I tot there was a need to babble some abracadabra. Then came this side kick who switched off the formation, like a switch. What the? Then it turned out this sidekick was to babble some stuffs, to knock some sense into Yan Chi Xia, for not saving people but saving the demon instead. Blah blah.
It was so boring that I yawned throughout, although I'm not sure whether it was because it was 1am already and I barely had 4 hrs sleep the whole of last week. At the last part, I cried, not because the story was touching but out of boredom.
They tried to bring some signature parts from the old classic, but it looked kinda ridiculous. The song still nice, but totally not matched for this show. The saving grace was some lame jokes and the chief of the village totally stole the scenes with his act seh attitude and his tortoise. I had fun counting the parts which Green Snake had surgery on. Boobs definitely, lips plumped, nose maybe, eyes not sure coz too much eye makeup.
The had to name drop Leslie Cheung at the end during credit. For wat?
Totally not worth the money though, spend it on the old classic dvd instead.
