Mr. Six (2015)

Wow how bad can it get?

[1/10 · 2 January 2016]

I had no idea what this movie was about or seen any of the trailers before going into this film so it really was quite a pure experience. From the first scene I was looking forward to the story and the rest of the movie.

Unfortunately what I experienced instead was a terrible movie going experience that I don't think has been or will be bested. If I wasn't with others I would have walked out about halfway through.

What's wrong with this movie? Where do I begin? Scenes that should be short are drawn out for no reason at all. There are shots and plot elements they spend heaps of time on and turn into absolutely nothing. The story is so simple that you could write it in 2 sentences and yet they make you think its some great and amazing thing they have concocted.

I think it does appeal to Chinese people a lot though since it has many famous stars in it. But if you look past that and just try to see it as a movie it is truly a great disaster.

The worst part of all was the ending. No meaning behind it, extremely forced, no emotion. What happened to Chinese cinema? I cry every time when watching Hero and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Now I have to put up with movies like this. 2 hours felt like 2 weeks.

In reality it probably is a 3/10 but since there are obviously so many fake ratings and hype I wish I could give it a 0/10.

All my hopes and dreams

Have been shattered. The other user reviews are right, this movie is nothing like a Star Wars film.

At first when I walked out of the cinema I was thinking I will take away happy memories. But there was something bothering me about it that I couldn't quite place.

The more I thought about it the more I found I hated this movie. The plot holes, the forced acting, the action scenes that were actually not that great, the incorrect portrayal of so many aspects of Star Wars lore. I'm now not sure I like any part of this movie anymore.

Even the plot is a total rehash that tries to be original at the same time but seriously falls flat. I feel its a real shame since it could have been so much more.

Not sure how it has a 8.5 rating here I really don't. Even right out of the cinema I would have only given it a 6/10. Now? I think closer to a 4/10 but since there are obviously so many paid for reviews I think I will just give it a 1/10.
