7 of 7 · most liked firstI saw Grandmasters in its limited run in movie theaters last night. It was not what I expected and frankly I wonder if it’s what the filmmakers expected when they set out on this project.
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie is called Grandmasters and I was expecting a little more of like, Fabi and Hikaru. I wonder if they started out making a doc about Wesley and then priorities changed. Anyway, 2/5 stars, I don’t totally regret going, now I can say I saw a chess documentary in a movie theater.
negative · AI labelView post →I rewatched The 7 Grandmasters and this movie is absolutely stunning. Every second of choreography is immaculate. This fight between Corey Yuen and Jack Long is told so perfectly, with Jack Long confiscating every weapon that Corey Yuen brings out. #kungfumovies
neutral · AI labelView post →For my podcast I made someone who has never seen a Kung Fu movie and doesn’t have a fondness for action watch The 7 Grandmasters. I feel bad for dropping them directly in the deep end. That’s a lot of Kung Fu for one movie.
