Tai ji 1: Cong ling kai shi (2012)
Totally blown away
Saw this at the Toronto International Film Festival. Actually I didn't really known what to expect when coming to this film. My friend was the one who invited me and didn't tell me much.
I have to say I was rather surprised by this movie, even though I went into the movie expecting to have a good time -- I had an AWESOME time.
Industrial revolution in China, mixed with kung fu and comic book elements, what more can you ask for!? One part of the story reminded me a lot of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, others of Kung Fu Hustle with hints of Wild Wild West - good movies (well, the first two :D) in my opinion that actually blend together really well! Comic book style, great art direction, funny, clever pop culture references, fast-paced (subtitles were a blur), and just overall fantastic.
I am already really excited for the second and third movies in this series. Can't wait till those arrive in Canada!
