hyped garbage

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I'm really not a fan of these types of movies. The plot was so weak I could barely identify it until the end, and it was just too over-the-top for me to enjoy it much.

This is my second viewing.
The movie is unique because it has comedy, kung fu and fantasy.
Though predictable but still good.
Not a scene is wasted, characters are developed well and fighting scene is entertaining.
I wish for a sequel although unlikely.

Creative, well-choreographed and funny, "Kung Fu Hustle" by Chinese/Cantonese director Stephen Chow was an international $100 million hit.The pros: The pace and charm of the movie. The homage it makes to older martial arts flicks. The stylish and nice-looking scenes it's composed by.The cons: It's not quite enough a story in itself to make me fully engaged. Rather, it's a collection of nice pictures and fighting scenes.

Good: Almost everything. I love it all, from the crazy slapstick humor, to the wild kung-fu fantasy fighting, to the insane villains and incredible heroes. Stephen Chow is not a man who does things by halves. When he does things, he does it all the way. Kung Fu Hustle is physical evidence of this. Kung Fu Hustle is not a film for the meek. Everything about it is completely over the top from the beginning (where a man's leg is sliced clean in two by an axe) to the end (a kung-fu style called the Toad, which emulates the croaking and hopping of it's namesake). Another amazing aspect is the soundtrack. Inspired by classic Shaolin music, it's incredibly fitting to the scenes in this movie. I actually went out of my way to find the soundtrack to listen by itself. The special effects are a bit too much, but that's just part of it's charm and humor. This is my favorite movie of all time in terms of sheer entertainment. I've watched it 4 times already.Bad: Character development. The protagonist, Sing, isn't a hero until 3/4ths of the movie is through. And for no apparent reason or explanation other than the lollipop. The Landlady and Landlord are also cowards until the movie is halfway through, also for no apparent reason.Verdict: I highly recommend watching this movie at least once. Or twice. Or thrice. Or four times like I did.
