Viewing Notes

Finally watching this so I can see the sequel, the number one movie in the world for two weeks in a row. Didn’t realize that Adkins was the bad guy so that already makes me unhappy. Also that CG wolf scene is dodgy af.

okay remove that wolf scene for a 6/10. lots of silly stuff of which that scene with the crime lord standing there while his band of mercs comes to save him is so fucking dumb and worst of it. The melodrama and goofy dialogue doesn’t bother me; it’s a lot like Jackie Chan flicks in that way and a big influence on Wu Jing. I just hate how the mercs are portrayed and that Adkins is a bad guy. It’s like “let’s spend some time to get to know these guys” who will eventually kill a bunch of the Wolf Warriors. Weird.

Overall this is fine but nothing special which is why I’m super curious as to how / why the sequel is blowing up.
