>American made remake/sequel of a Chinese classic
Hm, nah.
>cgi
>edm soundboard
fucking really? at least it doesn't have a kuck agenda
Why did they have to pick a Creedence Clearwater Revival song?
I wonder if there are still people heavy into movies like this anymore. I never see them around, do they just hang around their own genre forums?
>Reddit makes a chinese movie
meh this looks garb-

I'm a sucker for martial arts/Asian violence, so I'm down.
>>63424826
I've been fascinated by the genre since I started watching Into The Badlandsfucking sue me
What's the essential wire-fu/kung fu core?
>trailer for a wuxia movie
>there's a bad moon on the rise starts playing
>>63424670
>CGI AND NOT WIRES in a kung fu movie
NO
HELL NO
>>63424826
I used to be. Newer chinese movies just aren't as good. One day they'll get there, but not for a few years yet.

Ever since Hero it has been downhill.
And no, I don't care if it was socialist propaganda, it was well directed and had great music.
it looks fine for a modern wuxia.
Since it's Donnie Yen + Yuen Woo-ping, you can't really judge it on any other merit than its fights.
MacGuffin+Kung fu: the movie
>>63424941
What about the Tai Chi Zero/Hero movies? I've heard those were good.
Then again, I also heard that Tai Chi is barely a martial art in that it's more like Yoga.
Well I can't say I'm not interested tbqh

>Getting a classic hongkongonese kung-fu director to do a sequel to an Ang Lee film
At least get Zhang Yimou, jesus.
I'm conflicted. CGI, shit music, great grandma Michelle Yeoh, and probably shitty plot to satisfy the whims of some Hollywood producers who couldn't let go on one hand. Guaranteed top notch swordplay and Yuen Woo-ping on the other hand.

>Chinese martial arts movie comes on

>Ever since Hero it has been downhill.
That's probably a fair call. I liked Journey to the West for the most part, but everything else coming out of China in the wuxia or wuxia-influenced style has been a disapointment on some level.

If they had just released it under a different name without the link to a bona fide masterpiece it could've been GOAT.
I watched Crouch Tiger Hidden Dragon the other night and really enjoyed it, any suggestions for other things I might like?
>>63425117
>Crouch
Crouching*, fuck autocorrect.
>>63424670
The CGI looks rough at some spots, but I really liked the movie. We'll see.
Well seeing as the first one sucks ass, I dont hold out for this piece of shit
>>63425107
Its based on the book sequel Iron Knight, Silver Vase. They probably had objections to the Silver Vase, and to Iron Knight without any actual Christian knights.

Once Upon a Time in China
>>63424941
The raid 2 is literally the best martial arts film ever made.
>>63425312
Ong Bak 2 is better.
>>63424826
Right here buddy. I'm more into modern martial arts/action but Crouching Tiger was so good and this time Donnie Yen is in it, so I'm very hype about it.
/tv/ barely talks about anything that is not Hollywood, so martial arts don't get much love.
>>63425511
I watch anything with Donnie Yen he seems like a total bro
>>63425493
No it's not and you know it.
>>63425117
I remember Hero being absolutely great, but it's really underrated because it's considered nationalist propaganda.
Is this how fighting works when both people know what they're doing?

that fucking score is awful for this

>>63424670
Didn't watch the trailer. All i want to know is if it's still fucking wire-fu shit.
>>63425613
It is and I know it. Also, neither of them are Chinese, and Raid 2 is not even related to the wuxia genre, which is what is being discussed here.
>>63425786
CGI
Bad music
From what the trailer looks like, bad editing
>>63425639
>>63424941
The irony is that it's actually less nationalist than The Patriot. The message in the end is about individual sacrifice for the greater good but Zhang uses an emperor, which goes
against the communist line.
He doesn't even use red to represent the state, he uses black. Red is used to represent the passions and emotions of a rival state in an account that was ultimately proven to be false.
it's like none of you have watched a martial arts movie trailer before
>>63424670
Its being released in Feb....
>>63424670
WHERES MY SHITTY CGI?
FUCKING DROPED.
>>63424670
HAHAHA LOOKS LIKE FUCKING SHIT.
WAY TO MISS WHAT MADE THE FIRST ONE GOOD.
