Preview: CJ7 (2008)


Poster: C+

Review:

The is interesting, but hollow. It shows us a snippet of the creature featured in the film and the wide-eyed wonder of the two leads. However, there's something cheesey and hammy in the expressions and it's rather rudimentary in design.

Trailer: C

Review:

Stephen Chow has made a name for himself as a subversive examiner of the martial arts mythos. He blends the traditional conceits of the genre with fantasy elements, making it far more ludicrous and interesting. However, his last effort was anything but entertaining. This poster seems to indicate more of the same.

Oscar Prospects:

Neither Shaolin Soccer nor Kung Fu Hustle made their way into the ceremony, so it's unlikely this film will either.

Release Date:

March 7, 2008

Synopsis Review:

I have not seen this film.
