The Promise, a pile of Pupu's pupu...

The upcoming new movie, The Promise (Chinese name: "Wu Ji" or "Mo Gek", Malay name: "Janji"...)... is...

... despite its "big production", if i'm not mistaken...

... despite its, i think, three years in making/ producing ???...

... despite it using "famous stars" across Asia...

... despite Cecillia Cheung "sacrificing" herself for a naked scene in the movie (But was cut due to Malaysia's "getting-better-but-still-strict" sensorship board =.=...)...

... despite the, imo, beautiful and mystical feeling at the beginning the movie had...

... The Promise... is a whole pile of Pupu's pupu...


No, I'M SERIOUS!!!


I seriously expect something good, whats with after watching Perhaps Love which is like GOOD GREAT, but then... omg, TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT!!!

I seriously don't get whats the fuss they all make about the movie!!! Sure, Cecillia Cheung "sacrifies" for the movie, and there was Jang Dong Gun and Sanada Hiroyuki and Nicholas Tze, big production, 3 years, yada yada yada, but SO WHAT!!!

It still sucks!!!


Let me list a list why i think the movie's bad... be sure to read through it IF you are considering watching the movie, and if you think you are willing to pay RM6++ for it...

But it also means spoilers lar the list below ^^;;...

- All the guys, and mark me, i meant ALL THE DUDES IN THE BLOODY MOVIE, apart from Jang Dong Gun, ARE SO FREAKING GAY!!! They act girly, hug OTHER DUDES like OMG, cry girly... just... OMG!!!

- The freaking ending, totally omg... i thought if they did something at the end, i might've been much more satisfied, but... =.="""...

- Whats with the curse lay upon Cecillia Cheung's character (Who have a beautiful name btw =)...)??? Yeah, it did came true but hello, only like 35%-50% of it!!!

- Nicholas Tze's character's lame reason on why he turned into the bad guy =.=... OMG, be a MAN lar (Oops, i forget they aren't almost are...)!!! Why blame what a freaking LITTLE GIRL did to you in the past as the reason you turned into a ruthless meanie!!!

- The reason Nicholas Tze's character shed a tear for a bloody lame reason in the end =.=...

- ALOT of "char-dou", fall down and sweat parts, trust me...

- The computer graphics etc are like, SO FAKE!!! Define all the laws-of-gravity!!!
Ok, its a movie, but its not convincing lor (Unlike some other movies, it was make it until it seems convincing...)... AT ALL!!!

- The way this famous China actor, forget name =P, hugged Jang Dong Gun from behind... i mean, you want to show "Frienship Love", but what me and i think everyone else in the cinema based on their laughter, think, is... you showed GAY!!! What is it with THAT expression!!!

- The movie totally ruin the definition of "falling-in-love" or something, imo...
Cecillia's character fell for this guy because she thought it was the guy who saved her... when she found out it wasn't, she VERY FAST AND CONVENIENTLY fall for the original guy, even though she still had feelings for the fake one =.=...

- Cecillia's act quite fake... not against her, but at the beginning i thought she was only faking to fell-in-love with Sanada Hiroyuki's character, but it turns out wrong =.=...

- The fairy lady, why can't she stay put when telling Sanada Hiroyuki's character something... i mean, you no need fly around so freakily right??? Just stay still, finish the talk and leave lar!!!
But fairy lady really gives off a mystical, eery but magical, feel lar!!!~ Pretty too!!!~

- The fact that i'm using alot of "i mean" in this particular list alone, because too many =.= parts dee...

- GAY =.=...

- The curse on Cecillia's character: she was supposedly be able to get good food, dress and the "love" of a powerful man but she'll never get her true love...
The only correct part of the curse is the food and dress...

Because she was this Queen (Wang fei...), but the prob is, the King never was powerful because his power depended on the great General. Nicholas Tze's character showed more power than the King lor, and the King died at the very beginning... The love of a powerful man??? I don't think so...
Ok lar, she was with the General, who showed of ALOT of power, but at that point he already no power lor... so don't use that reason against me... anyways, she loved the General (Sanada...)...

And then, she'll never get her one true love, even if do will get seperated...
Ok, the problem is, they never show who she REALLY loved =.=... its between Jang Dong Gun and Sanada... Sanada died, so fact proven but then at the end Jang Dong Gun was alive and flying (Trust me, i REALLY meant flying =.=...)... and she was laughing...

- Cecillia uses voice over for the mandarin voice... totally disturbing =.=...
And hello, Jang Dong Gun and Sanada, get this, also speaks mandarin in this movie, even though THEY DON'T SPEAK OR KNOW MANDARIN!!! It may be voice over again in the studio, but its still more reality what!!!
Cecillia can speak and understand mandarin, even though not good (But in studio you can take your time what...), but she didn't do so =.=... Nicholas Tze also uses mandarin dee lar, and very well!!!
Somemore, whether Jang Dong Gun and Sanada really speak mandarin anot, we won't know because we don't really know them (Except their fans...), and we know Cecillia so we'll immediately know whether her real voice anot...
But really, Jang Dong Gun i can guarantee you he really speak mandarin because i recognize his voice!!! And Sanada's one i not sure, but not fake lor, really sound foreign!!!

Conclusion...

- Lame reasons throughout the whole movie...

- Storyline lame...

- Lame ending...

- Lame characters...

- Fake...

- Just... OMG!!!


Hehhe, actually its quite late and i'm getting sleepy dee lar so just cincai write overall nya lar =P... but trust me, not really worth it to watch lar... get pirated also not worth it lor... just skip this one!!!

If you really still insist in watching, good luck not to fall asleep and waste money... but if you are any of the lead actors' (Note: ACTORS, not actors and actresses =P...) fans, then you might stay awake because the lead actors are all really very outstanding, especially Nicholas Tze!!! I seriously think he did a good job!!! Jang Dong Gun and Sanada too!!
Although the crying part of Sanada is downright gay, but then still good, in a way ^^;;!!!

Extra kudos cause THEY SPEAK MANDARIN ORIGINALLY!!!


Ok lar, i go kao kao zhu first, my best buddy Zhao Gong waiting for me dee Z_Z... JA!!!~

p/s: There'll be more when i thought of more, hehe... cannot credit the good part now cuz really want to Zzz dee lar =P!!! Paiseh XD!!!~
