Excellent, Without a doubt!!
... View Moren my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
... View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreThis is the movie that actually opened my eyes to the Asian cinema. Of course I had watched other Asian movies, but never been super interested because of the language (of course, I was familiar with early Jackie Chan movies).And at the same time, this is also the movie that opened up my eyes to the talent of Cheung Man Yuk (Maggie).This movie is quite cool. It has lots of action and an alright story line, though a bit cheesy at times. But you live with it, because the movie is in fast pace from start till end.The characters in the movie are well played, particularly the 3 heroines portrayed by Maggie Cheung, Anita Muy and Michelle Yeoh. The bad guys and supporting roles were nice as well."Heroic Trio" is a nice movie to come out of Asian film market. If you like Asian movies and action movies, then definitely pick up this one. You will not be disappointed.
... View MoreThe city's baby boys are being kidnapped and an evil wizard is to blame. He plans on selecting one to be a future emperor and the rest will become mindless living zombies left to do his dirty work. The cops are helpless to do anything so in walks Shadow Fox, Mercy and Invisible Woman, three superheroes known as the Heroic Trio, to take out the evil wizard and return the babies to their parents.The plot is rather thin but that's okay because it leaves plenty of time for some great action sequences, although one involving a motorcycle that spins in mid-air is rather laughable. Most of the action sequences involve the use of wires and if you look carefully you'll be able to see that the wires are quite visible in several scenes. Other than that the acting is okay and the women are very easy on the eyes.Overall I'd give this film 3 out of 4 stars.
... View MoreThe plot: Male babies are being stolen from under the noses of mothers and hospitals, and no one is able to spot the kidnapper (turns out she's invisible). Both "Wonder Woman" (no relation) and her police-inspector husband are trying to solve the case in their own ways. A thief-catcher (something like a bounty hunter?) offers her services to the cops, but at a price.Spoilers:Who's behind all this? A scary albino eunuch with magic powers who lives in an underworld reachable only through the sewers. He's kidnapping babies because he believes one of them will be the next emperor, and he wants to control that baby. He apparently has been kidnapping children for some time, brainwashing them, feeding them on raw meat (often human flesh) and making them into his mindless minions.The movie is really fun, holds together well, and the policeman husband isn't half the bozo that some people seem to think he is - all three of the women were trained in magic martial arts since childhood, so by comparison he looks wimpy, but he's still willing to lay it on the line to stop other cops from getting blown up by mines. Credit where credit is due.
... View MoreGood films are good films no matter where they come from. Bad films are bad films no matter where they come from. Just because this movie is a product of the HK cinema scene doesn't make this a good film. Do I have poor taste? Nobody can judge me on that. Am I just not open to filmmaking from any sources outside of Hollywood? I'd like to think so. But no amount of open-mindedness can give me the kind of taste to recommend a movie with lame stunts, very poor character development, weak humor and tedious mood music. The girls look good, but I'd rather spend 104 minutes looking at still photos of these ladies before spending another 104 minutes with this overrated waste of celluloid. Only for genre lovers.
