Is the comedy movie "Wulin Monster" worth watching?

After reading The Legend of Wulin, I have always had an illusion-

What makes director Liu Weiqiang make a bad film as good as Liu Zhenwei?

Although both of them are well-known veteran directors in Hong Kong, Liu Zhenwei once produced classics such as A Chinese Odyssey and a Japanese Journey to the West, which created a wave of nonsense comedies in Hong Kong, while Liu Weiqiang became the peak of Hong Kong-made gangster films with a set of infernal affairs trilogy after the Millennium.

However, just like the deteriorating Hong Kong films, the two once famous directors are now reduced to the embarrassing situation of speculating on cold rice and living on their laurels. This "Wulin Monster" is undoubtedly a standard New Year movie that tries to circle money with Hong Kong-style nonsense.

There is little plot and character logic in the film. Directors and screenwriters just want to mix Hong Kong-style martial arts films, monster films and nonsense comedies, regardless of whether the plot of the film is reasonable or not. This is a farce.

In this respect, the film can be said to have completely inherited all the shortcomings of the previous film "Daoism, Magic and Catch the Demon 2", and made up the length of a film with the jokes of low-level and naive ugly people, all kinds of outdated old terrier and the bridge of shit and fart.

On the other hand, the film attempts to parody and pay tribute to the former Hong Kong-made martial arts films.

From the setting of Longmen Inn, the painting style of Shao Wuxia's films, to the murder by using the sword in Jin Yong's novels, the modeling of the white-haired devil, and even some shadows of the dragon ball, it's a pity that these elements and bridges are simply implanted into the film as a hodgepodge of embellishment, but they have no self-restraint.

In particular, this film is completely unqualified as a comedy, and the whole film reveals the arrogance and ignorance of the creator.

The most embarrassing plot is that the director actually hired actors such as Peter Ho and Li Cansen to play such a rotten stalk as "Bald Donkey, Dare to Fight Being Original for the Teacher" at the beginning of the film, which shows how these Hong Kong directors are behind the times!

Finally, I want to talk about the performance of film actors, from passers-by to the protagonist, almost without exception, has become a acting disaster.

Practice has proved that-

Even strong players like Louis Koo and Fang Zhongxin can't shake the facial paralysis performances of Cheney Chen and Bea Hayden in bad movies!
