Movie Review : Shaolin Girl



Honestly, I had a pretty much high expectation for this movie. Yup, Stephen Chow is involved. Eventhough he is not the director or actor. At least 1 thing for sure it supposed to be hillarious. Hehe. It turned out to be a lame movie after all. No wonder Stephen Chow didn't act in this movie. Hehe.



A japanese girl, Rin sent to China by his grandfather to learn Shaolin Kung Fu for a period of 3000 days. Upon completing, she went back to Japan with hope that the Dojo (where she started her Kung Fu lesson with her sensei) is still there. Unfortunately, the Dojo already closed.



Frustrated with it, she didn't gave up on her mission to spread Kung Fu in Japan. Minmin a college student agreed to became her first student. On the other hand, Rin agreed to play Lacrosse and represent the college together with Minmin and her team.



You alredy see where this story heading huh? Yup, Lacrosse + Shaolin that is! Lacrosse is a hockey+football kind of game. You need a stick with a basket on the tip end of the stick to keep the ball. The objective is like football. Score to your opponent's goal.



The rest of the story totally ridiculous. Way too far compared to Shaolin Soccer or Kung Fu Hustle. No more sports+kung fu theme movie ok! huh!


Moan of the movie


Ridiculous scenes. At least in Shaolin Soccer it was a 'Wow' scene eventhough it was unrealistic. But in this movie? Too exaggerated special effect and CGI.


Moment of the movie

Lacrosse matches of course. I havent seen any match in full though in real world. But after watching this movie, I think its worthed. But where to watch huh?
Rating
2.5/5
