User Reviews

Great set, bad story

I came to the cinema after seen many bad reviews bout this movie. I really didn't expect much, thought what could go wrong? How bad this could go? And it turns out worse. Really, this is a disgrace to Mo Brothers name. I knew the game, played it once, so I'm familiar with the story and this movie ruins it all. Too many plotholes I lost counting, there's no back story to each characters, there's no premise, no development, no origin, they just put it there, wrapped it out with beautifful scenery, awesome make-up and great CGI. I feel that this movie seems doesn't know what it wants to tell. It's going back and forth without purpose. Ironically, the one thing I enjoy was the comedy eventough it's supposed to be a horror movie. Mike (kang Heri) is such a comic relief and did a great acting, while others even they're such a good actors/actress, they kind of annoying and I barely remember their character except the main role. Honestly, i never reviewed a movie this bad since Twilight. And Always appreciate locals. But this is really disappoint me. So...thank you, next.
