La Grande Vadrouille

(虎口脱险)

Eternal comedy masterpiece!

4.9

Anna & King

The movie has nothing but two stars, and that’s well enough

4.8

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

The movie loyally sticks to every detail of the original work. How long will the following ones take?

4.7

A Knight’s Tale

Chaucer’s final speech is splendid.

The funny words came from the king: after careful investigation I found out he’s blahblahblah

4.7

鸦片战争

琦善这个八旗官僚形象塑造得很好

4.6

双旗镇刀客

The best Chinese swordman movie I’ve ever seen

4.5

Shall We Dance

4.4

Run Lola Run

Creative! Problem finally solved in most unlikely way

4.3

Rat Race

Best comedy of the year. Fantastic collection of great comedians

4.2

Contact

What a concise but cool ending!

4.1

Rain man

It’s five years after I first watched this movie on the campus of TongJi Univ. Movie should be moving, this is the simple conclusion I drew fro this masterpiece.

4.0

Mummy Return

A visual feast

3.9

Cast Away

Fake story but true human nature, when Tom Hanks cried for losing Wilson and walked in rain after meeting ex-wife

3.9

Meet Parents

Excellent comedy second only to Rat Race

3.8

Full Mounty

The version I watched in Singapore was cut thus it has a strangely concise ending

3.8

The Quick & the Dead

Of very few good movie from Sharon Stone. She’s even sexier in this movie than in Instinct. Russell Crowe and Gene Hackman are also terrific

3.7

Apollo 13

We call it “groundless courage”

3.7

重庆森林
(Chungking Express)

I started to like Wong Kar Wai from this movie

3.6

A.I.

Like most reviewers, I love the part before he was deserted. In the first part although it’s a science fiction, we can understand and accept everything happened. After that, the plot is out of the control of audience but totally manipulated by the storyteller. We are sitting there listening to a fantastic story

3.6

Patriot

Superb war stage. One thing I don’t understand: how come the guerrilla failed to notice they were already encircled before they ambushed the wagons, and how did the Britons learn where the ambush would take place？

3.5

What Women Want

Adults’s fairy tale

3.5

The Sphere

3.4

Dragon Heart

Even Sean Connery’s voice alone is appealing enough to pull me into watching it

3.4

Violet

Spielberg rarely waste film as his Hollywood fellows always do. Such a plain story of a African countrywoman so vividly reflects a wide history picture of how African women improved their social rights. Original work is written by AliceWalk who got Pulitzer Prize for it

3.3

First Knight

How could the enemy so easily penetrated into the castle?

3.3

生死抉择

Touching original work and successful translation into movie.

3.2

One Fine Day

This is the real Pretty Woman

3.2

陌生人

Plain but moving kid’s movie

3.1

Hannibal

The first part in Italy was masterpiece, especially in the church

3.1

少林足球
(ShaoLin Soccer)

Best Chinese comedian of the year

3.0

Bridal of Chucky

It’s really funny to watch this killer-toy

3.0

Rush Hour II

Is Zhang Ziyi always a vase?

2.9

American Pie II

No longer a mere comedy as the first one, American Pie II is deeper digging into these kids. But why the mother is still hot?

2.9

南京大屠杀

Good description of the Taiwanese soldier and the Sino-Japanese marriage

2.8

Moulin Rouge

An old-style but still attractive story. Nicole Kidman has got a talent for singing

2.8

Jurassic Park III

Nothing but special effects

2.8

特务迷城
(An Accidental Spy)

Lousy story, old Jacky Chan

2.7

Almost Famous

The choice to tell the story from a boy’s view is successful

2.7

The Cell

Terrific visual effect

2.6

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

The actors are great. The visual effect is great. But both are wasted by the tedious and naïve story

2.6

瘦身男女

(Love on a Diet)

The same critics applies to all such HK movies: too dramatics above reality

2.5

The Exorcist

The story is totally nonsense

2.5

Broken Arrow

The lessen we learned again and again from Hollywood is: show no mercy to good men

2.5

Sabrina

原来这就是为宋昊所不齿的《新龙凤配》

2.4

American Sweetheart

A mediocre story deriding arrogant movie star

2.4

刺秦

2.3

Bone Collector

2.3

Kiss of the Dragon

The Paris prostitute is more lovely than Jet Li

2.3

同居密友

(Fighting for Love)

Sammi Cheng has fixed her style, which is not good for her further development in movie

2.2

Legally Blonde

I watched this movie in midnight, I kept awake, thus I don’t want to rate it too low

2.2

Face Off

Hollywood fantasy

2.2

The Muse

2.1

Cutthroat Island

Intrigue story

2.1

Sliver

The ending is well above my poor understanding

Sociological description of showgirls in Las Vegas

Mortal Thoughts

I watched it on TV, and wonder anyone would ever pay to watch it in cinema

1.9

Planet of Apes

You treat us as idiots?

A collection of big names, but disappointing result

1.7

The Ring II

1.6

雷霆战警

Pretty Japanese actress

1.5

Dracula 2000

1.4

Exit Wounds

Its greatest feature is that you never remember the story

1.3

The Specialist

Once upon a time there were so many bombers in the screen

1.2

天浴
(Xiu-Xiu)

The reason why it’s still afloat is for the beautiful prairie

1.0

逃学威龙

0.8

Striptease

If you come for it’s name, you’ll be disappointed,
if you come for plot, you’ll be disappointed again,
if you come for Demi Moore, she’s always the same.

0.7

The Animal

Obviously targeted to poorly-educated audience

0.4

Everything is in a mess in this concocted foolish movie
