“u0026quot;Kung Fu Leagueu0026quot; (aka u0026quot;Gong fu lian mengu0026quot;) was a movie that I didnu0026#39;t even know about before now late in 2019. I was given the chance, and of course I did take it as I enjoy Asian cinema.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI wasnu0026#39;t sure what to expect from this movie, but I was convinced that it would be a martial arts movie. I hadnu0026#39;t expected it to also be a funny movie, so it was a nice experience to sit down and watch the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSure, the storyline wasnu0026#39;t all that impressive, but still it was entertaining enough, and the fact that the comedy, the acting performances and the martial arts helped lift up the movie definitely made it all the more enjoyable to watch.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie is over-the-top, so you shouldnu0026#39;t sit down and watch this movie with an intention of watching a realistic martial arts movie – but then again, how many realistic martial arts movies make it out of the Chinese cinema?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat worked well in the movie, for me at least, was the acting performances by the good ensemble of casted actors and actresses that they had managed to get together for the movie. That and also the comedy elements that the movie had to it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of u0026quot;Kung Fu Leagueu0026quot; is six out of ten stars.”
