[4.25/10] The Mystery of Dragon Seal: Journey to China (2019)

The Mystery of Dragon Seal (2019)

Quick Review: A dry, overcrowded, sloppily-edited, CGI-laden mess of a fantasy flick with dodgy effects and unimpressive kung fu action, whose potentially adventurous story has no focus or sense of fun, this Chinese- Russian co-production is only worth- seeing for a couple of girl-dominant fights, and the amusing Jackie Chan vs. Arnold Schwarzenegger combat, though sadly both these actors are so way underused, their presence is of no benefit for the film.

What an odd mix.
Have you seen Joker? I wanted to hate it. But it was brilliant.

Alex, yes it didn't work.
Regarding Joker -- not yet. Will do at the beginning of next week. Not a Todd Philips fan, so I don't expect much.

since this was Rutger hauer's last movie how did you feel about his performance? There are some movies he's done I can't get out of my head like escape from sobibor. You are missed half great travels Rutger.

brooke, he did real good as always, considering the limited screen time he had, but the could have used more of him...
