Once again Vincent Zhao is back to play one of the most famous Chinese characters ! The movie reminds me of Once Upon A Time Hero In China a lot, sure the Jet Li classics are better, but The Unity of Heroes is a good kung-fu flick that deserves a try as well. Personally I enjoyed it and I don't mind seeing sequels for it.

Re:Born

Another great and creative film by Sakaguchi !
18 November 2018
The plot of the film is simple and entertaining. There are a lot of fighting scenes that feature knives. Sakaguchi once again plays an interesting character.
Don't let the negative reviews deceive you, Re: Born has plenty to offer if you like martial arts films.
Power Rangers
(2017)
A decent film
7 August 2017
The film is obviously about 3 boys and 2 girls that are kinda weird to the society, have attitude and by some kind of luck they meet each other, become friends and Power Rangers. I find the plot unconventional and certain scenes were simply off. The first half of the film was entertaining despite the plot, filled with action and funny moments. I expected to see more fights with the Power Rangers' suits, but unfortunately the fighting scenes were considerably short. The Rangers' enemies were poor looking except the main villain which was supposed to do something that didn't. Why wouldn't they give the people what they really want ? It reminds me of those films where the best parts are saved for the last minutes. At least films like Transformers and Pacific Rim pleased the audience with more than 1 Sci Fi action scene and things felt more balanced. It's like the director focused on the real life of the young super heroes and didn't know how to handle the action scenes. Overall the film is fun, but they didn't give us much of the rangers it felt more like Transformers in the end, but with cheaper looking giants fighting each other. I hope there is a sequel and the director handles the things better.
Jurassic World
(2015)
Worst than Jurassic Park 3
27 September 2015
I used to watch the 3 Jurassic Park films very often when i was a kid , i was always asking myself a question , when will they release another Jurassic Park film with new realistic looking dinosaurs? My personal favorite of the trilogy is Jurassic Park 2. When i started watching Jurassic World i never thought that there would be annoying kid characters and silly looking mix-breed dinosaurs. Instead of focusing on real species they decided to make something original , intelligent enough to outsmart humans , but IMO the creature needed a bunch of laser beams and a machine gun. The plot was very predictable, they focused on very few dinosaurs too , i felt like i was waiting many years for nothing. Despite my disappointments, the movie features beautiful looking dinosaurs and action scenes which makes it another entertainment movie without much of a sense.
Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight
(2008–2009)
Kamen Rider !
8 September 2015
When the show was announced i was very skeptical since i am not a fan of the adaptations. One day i saw on a website that some of the people from Japan that worked on the original Kamen Rider Ryuki are involved with Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. Then i decided to give it a try and i really enjoyed it. I liked how they used some of the riders , the white rider for example got plenty of screen time in the original version she only appeared in a movie and i was really disappointed. Kamen Rider Dragon Knight has a lot actions , plenty of fights that in my opinion are very fun to watch. The actors did their job pretty well and if you like Kamen Rider you should give this show a try.
Ryômaden
(2010– )
The journey of Ryoma and Yataro.
31 August 2015
Before reading any review make sure you don't check who is Sakamoto Ryoma and Iwasaki Yataro unless you know them already. It might spoil everything and make the show less enjoyable.
The TV drama is based on Sakamoto Ryoma who wanted to change something very important. During his journey he meets many interesting people who help him to achieve his goals. Despite being a show focusing on Sakamoto Ryoma's life they also focus on Iwasaki Yataro and many other people which played a big role in the Japanese history during 19th century. I loved everything about this show except one episode which in my opinion wasn't handled right and can make the viewers very curious or disappointed if they don't know about Japan during 19th century. In order to avoid spoilers i won't share more and i advice you not to search for additional info before you watch the show unless you know everything already.
I have seen many historical dramas and in my opinion Ryomaden is one of the best. A masterpiece !
