Martial Arts > 1989 Martial Arts

Fight scenes don't come much better!!

Advantages: great fight sequences all through the film keeping the same cast and style as with the first 'Police Story'
Disadvantages: Storyline is quite simple and follows directly and predictivly from the previous film

...liked or loved the first police story film then you definatly should invest in this sequel. Police story 2 comprises of greatly choreographed fight scenes regularly through the film with jackie chan taking on the odds in a way only he can. Unlike most martial artists Jackie Chan specialises in fighting large numbers of opponents making the visual screening very realistic as if it was a real fight. He uses his environment and his great fighting technique ...
...action and worth buying just for that reason, it does have a predictable story which suprisingly leaves you very satisfied once the film finishes. Those of you who are already fans of jackie chan then you should already have this in you collection, for those of you who are new to this genre of martial arts action, i would still recomend that you purchase this classic sequel! Especially as you can find it on dvd fairly cheaply on various websites. ...

Advantages: Perfect jackie chan film for the kids
Disadvantages: a tiny bit long winded for adults

I have no kids but know for sure this film is brilliant entertainment for them to watch. I know this because i first watched it when i was a teen and it remained one of the most vivid and memorable in my childhood.

Review of Martial Arts - 3 Dragons - Kickboxer / Savate / Extreme Dragon (Box Set) (DVD)

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Confuses Audience

Advantages: See what life might have been like during the Qing Dynasty
Disadvantages: it left the viewer confused with unanswered questions

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon takes place during the Qing Dynasty and tells the story of woman and men warriers and a sword known as the Green Destiny. I was utterly confused when watching this movie and had a hard time grasping my head around the plot. This story line was very difficult to follow and was needed to be searched on the Internet to discover the plot. In my opinion, the movie didn't answer any questions that were set up in the beginning ...
...plot and the characters of the story were to confusing that it was distracting from the effects included. Personally, I beleive that Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was a pointless movie in which there was no plot but just a series of random events that made transitions through the movie. ...
