Just what I expected

Instant Favorite.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The first must-see film of the year.

I loved Yamakasi. The adventure was almost non-stop. I wish they would have sent it to theaters in the U.S. It would have been cool to see it on the big screen. I wonder if they could make an American version of it or something. That would be cool. Scaling buildings and saving lives. That's some movie. Anyway...here's a short summary of the film...The Yamakasi are a group of city jumpers in France that happen to get into a pickle when a young boy with a heart condition tries to mimic them. The family of the boy cannot afford the heart transplant and the Yamakasi are forced to take the situation into their own hands.Sorry, I don't want to spoil the film for you. It's enough to make you want to see it isn't it? Well, I hope you enjoy Yamakasi as much as I did. Thanks for reading my review.

There's nothing noteworthy about the story. Very thin plot--I even felt the story was forced just to have a film on the yamakasis. Plot/conflict is based on an incredible story of a boy needing a transplant because of an accident? Why? There could have been a better plot for the yamakasis since they are not really misfits and/or outlaws. They're just extreme sports lovers who are in it for the adrenalin rush.Enough said about the plot. Yamakasi is basically about amazing stunts and maneuvers. They are breath taking! Yamakasi stunts defy gravity and inertia. True to it's subtitle, "Modern Samurais/Ninja" Who thought flying can be for men too!? For the stunts and (literal) flying... this film gets my thumbs up.

OK, so I'm a fan of Luc Besson.So when his name popped up in my TV guide, I was trilled. I got my popcorn ready, reserved the best seat in the house and had a VHS tape ready to record the movie. I was set to go.Then is started.Started quite good, I had a good feeling, but then it just got worse. And for worse, I mean, it sucked. I stopped the tape 20 min into the movie. I stopped watching about 1h into the movie. I just couldn't handle it anymore.The whole story, the acting, the dialog was so amazingly stupid, unrealistic and on a 10 year old level, I was really surprised (and worried as well) that Besson had ANYTHING to do with it. Without a doubt, I could make a better movie. Anyone could.I'll give it a 2 out of 10, just cos.. I don't know really. Deserves a 1 anyhow. One of the worse I've seen for a long time.

Its 2004 and barely arrived to Mexico's video rental clubs.Sincerily the main attraction was that Luc Beson wrote the story so I decided to give it a chance.It pictures very good the actual situation of developed countries such as France and USA, with a fast growing population of poor people... (Need to see it to understand this issue)And also it has terrific action, which thrills the viewer without any use or abuse of fancy visual effects and/or sexual or deathly violence.They say every movie represents a Fairytale, this would be a combination of Robin Hood with Les Miserables.Well, never mind my words, just see for yourself.
