Kung Fu Hustle

I didn't care for KUNG FU HUSTLE.

The movie can't quite find its tone: one minute it's a shot-in-the-back gangster movie, and the next it's a Warner Brothers cartoon. Its stunt work is overshadowed by its gratuitous CGI, the love interest didn't work, and the story didn't hang together.

While I did like the film's music, feeling that it worked perfectly with the action onscreen, overall the picture feels like Stephen Chow just cobbled together some cool sequences, then tried to work them into a movie. What a disappointment.
