Viewing Notes

Brought my dvd to the Secret Cinema but saw that Ron had the Blu-ray! Much better!

Fun revisit primarily for the action beats. The story is still the weak spot and maybe a 5.5 or 6. It’s all the same tropes and melodrama. The action, however, is next level and we get babyface Wu Jing with the skunk hair! That ending is just so fucking dark it kinda ruins the vibe, ngl.
