| Mmmm Charlene Choi without her this movie would have been even worse.
The original Twins Effect was great it had some good fighting and it was funny. Twins Effect 2 really has nothing to do with the first film rather only having the Twins to star in it again.
Storywise its about men are slaves and women rule. The twins along with Donnie Yen and a few other main characters set out and try and find this sword. Once they have it there able to kill the queen with it. The queen over powers people everyone is scared of her and no likes her.
Charlene Choi one of the twins probably kept me from not turning it off. She grows on you and really did a good job she's cute and can be funny.
Donnie Yen is in this and has a cool intro scene at the start and yet there's not much else he really doesn't have that huge of a role. There is a fight scene between him and Jackie Chan which was kinda pointless but still was an alright scene. It wasn't to original and there wasn't anything special about it.
Jackie Chan son is also in this probably cause Jackie Chan help worked on the movie. His son does nothing and isn't the best actor he does no stunts or fights. Just tags around with on of the twins.
The costumes lol wtf? There horrible the women wear these purple get ups that look ugly and can ruin the film.
The choreography is so-so its no were near as good as in the first Twin Effects. Besides the Donnie Yen fight scenes there's a couple more but there's not a whole to say about them. The twins fight at the start which seems slow paced same with the other small fights that break out during the film.
The one thing that kills this movie is the CGI its bad. There's a couple good effects but they over did it. Instead of the good ol wire work they just replaced everyone with CGI bodies whenever they do some high jump it looks really bad.
They could have used that money and focused more on the choreography.
This was a let down but thank god for the Twins. It also could have been a lot worse there are some funny scenes and the fighting is OK.
See this if your a fan of the first Twins Effect or a fan of the Twins. Besides that your not missing much go see or watch the first Twins Effect again. |
