Trailers

Yesterday, watched the new Bond film Casino Royale at vivocity. New bond guy is actually not too bad! the movie is indeed a new style, new era of Bond movies.....the way the storyline is, filming....even the theme song not sung by someone famous. Blond and blue eyes, you hardly can associate this image with 007, but it was convincing enough cuz the fighting scenes against the villians were exciting......bond seem tough again.it wasnt perfect but better than expected.
some romantic cheesy moments were odd..... when 007 fell deeply in love with the lead actress. suddenly became so wimpy (like Samshik...haha).....

before the movie, they showed a few trailers....namely Spiderman 3, the new andy lau movie and the new jay chou movie. all looked kinda boring actually.

spiderman turn bad in part 3, and the movie trailer looks really messy. like cut and paste sequences....i think this may not be good as 2. looks kinda dark and predictable.

the jay chou and andy lau period drama are 2 of the many chinese movies surfing on the hollywood chinese wave.....but i think that is kinda of passe already. 2 trailers really look identical with the massive computerised army fight scenes, lavish costumes and english narration......yawn.......everything is so americanised.
jay chou looks like he will not have much lines in the show, all i see is him making aggressive expressions getting ready to fight. andy lau one looks dull also......all about fighting again, costumes all black.
maybe they should market original HK movies like Internal Affairs to the west rather than this.
