I like this one the best so far, the pacing was good, it's a fun watch. I hope more will come out. Seeing Tony Jaa was a breath of fresh air. Can't belive how he changed over the years. There are also returning characters. Big scenes with what seems to be a hundred of people are not missing. Humour and a personal story, also a little bit of development to the detective backstory and the world of detectives.

Honest Candidate
(2020)
Hilarious from Start to Finish

One of the funniest movies I've seen this year. Interesting plot, characters are endearing, Ra Mi-Ran as a lead carries the movie splendidly. It's a light-heated fun that will not offend you, it doesn't want to make a statement, but it still has a message which is; all politicians lie. One difference between this movie and other movies tackling this premise is that this one succeeds in making it entertaining.

This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Right from the start you can feel the cringe. It's diffucult not to compare it to the original because most people who will see it, will have watched it. But there's no nostalgia here, the most memorable scenes are either botched or excluded, and if you are planning to watch it with your kids, they will surely fall asleep within the first 15 minute, as this movie has the strangest pacing issues, jumping all over the place without a coheseve exposition. Cast doesn't help it either, dialogues are so dumb, and the delivery is so unbeliavable that it looks like they were dubbed over the real dialgoues. Although I am biased towards Yifei Liu over her stance on Hong Kong protests, which is in itself an amazing irony, I can safely say that she doesn't own the role, it is as if she just stood there and the film happned around her. The main boss of the movie in the form of Drogo and Melisandra make as much sense as any other villain in Chinese pseudo-historical flick. Cinematography is mostly bad blue screen, film doesn't look like an American production, the wire-work is iffy and obvious, scenes with pagodas and the palace are few and far between. And lastly, the music from the original is used at the most unexplainable moments and is heard for 2 bars only at most. I can't think of a single moment I liked about this film.
Kabir Singh

Kabir SIngh - Super Student, Super Surgeon, Superman

No matter if this movie is watched through male or female perspective, it is fair to say this film doesn't pull any punches, and showcases toxic masculinity in its full capacity. Shahid Kapoor plays a character who exhibits all traits of a time bomb. In the cast of unlikable characters he pushes the movie. This is quite a feat considering that Kabir Singh is at times a caricature of a man. Kabir has it all figured out, everybody have to follow him or else he'll blow up. Despite this red flag, we still have a romantic movie to make . . . a girl with pretentious name and a small script enters the scene. Their relationship cannot be described in any other way than just "bonkers". Kabir disguises violence with romance, and obsession with destiny. His demise is entertaining enough to watch, however, cultural biases aside it is unapologetic and disgusting.
