Curse of the Golden Flower Showers!

July 22nd, 2007
Sorted in: movies, rant, simply awful

It’s 11:37PM. I’m sitting in bed with my wife and 4 day old son. And I am crying. Why, pray tell, is the Meltron weeping? Well my friends, I just spent 1 hour and 54 minutes of my life watching Curse of the Golden Flower. These tears aren’t of joy, but of utter sadness; this was by far the the second worst movie I have ever seen. Sure there are worse with no budgets and horrible effects, but I haven’t watched them.

Where can I begin with this piece of crap?! I’m too tired and upset to find the words right now, but as gentle as I can be, this movie was piss!

Tomorrow more details.

Yeah, it was a stinker. It started out quite beautifully, but it seems like they just got lost in the end and didn’t know what to do next. Like they just threw everything together.

HA! Yea, this movie was gawd awful. I couldn’t even bring myself to write anything more about it…it was that bad. Hero was ok - long and drawn out - but ok.

Like his movies start fairly well, then get all goofy and retarded. What I found so hilarious was that the youngest son would just show up in the middle of a shot - for no apparent reason at all - just standing there…staring…alone…dramatic pause!

And don’t get me started about the end. What, what?! 10,000 soldiers slaughtered by more than 20x the amount of counter ninjas ( I love the realism here) and then, in the span of 5 minutes, the blood bath was cleaned up and they had a party - and all the guests were clueless?! Dude, seriously, this movie was fucking awful.

I’ll have to run my selections by you next time. Which reminds me, is Casshern any good?
