how can people stand watching asian films???

Im talking about asian martial arts films...seriously I find them 100% unenjoyable...the acting is terrible, the plot is extremely crazy, confusive and terrible as well, the special effects suck, the fighting scenes suck, they overuse bungee (and looks extremely fake) as if a god would have commanded them to use it in order to make the movie look both fake and terrible.

at first I thought I was watching the wrong movies...so I decided to watch 2 of the best rated asian films: crouching tiger, hidden dragon and hero...

my opinion didnt changed one bit...I mean why do they have to use the bungee like that? the guys jump like over 3000 feet in the air and move their legs as if they were running and they move in extreme slow motion...then the fights were completly bloodless...even though in CTHD a guy gets a huge blade stuck on his forehead, there is not one drop of blood in this scene. the plot is extremely confusive and just weird...and hero did not differ either, the fights looked extremely fake, they still abused the bungee and the plot also sucked...

so now I wonder...what do asian movies fans see in this movies? why do they like them? and what do you think about them?

Haha I hate those movies you mentioned, but not all asian movies are that bad. Try Ip Man 1 and 2. :D

I can't stand them. I think they suck.

Ong Bak doesn't have any special effects or bungee at all, and while the acting sucks, the action is unbelievably kick ass.

what most people don't know "YOU" is that these are based of comics where they give the characters ability to fly and glide and all that, I enjoy these movies because their just that movies and their for your entertainment. No need to bash something that's fictional I don't see how people can watch old black and white movies but my mom enjoys them so who am i to say they suck because i don't understand them.

I wouldnt judge Asian films by a few you don't like. There are plenty of great Asian films that are not like those you mentioned. The films you mentioned have a certain styl e that not everyone likes, but I personally like them. You should watch films by Akira Kurosawa, Kairo, or Fires on the plain. There are many great Asian films if you look for them.

The films Bruce Lee did in Hong Kong are considered collectibles in the U.S.

and I also hate asian horror films...the bad guy (or girl actually) is always a girl with dark, long hair (usually covering the face) and at the end everyone dies in a horrible (but still not shocking way) I also watched an asian film which differed from the average description, called "rule number 1" or something like that...the movie sucked...and I could never recognize the characters because they were all the same...lightleggy

The original "The Eye" and "The Eye 2" are a couple of pretty good suspense/horror films.

The asian films that I watch are dubbed English with subtitles from my native language. It's like using an online translator to communicate with a foreigner. I can't understand *****.medic36

Lolz.. You are absolutly right man.. to hell with them why to even bother thinking about it.. they won't improve in next many centuries .. you just enjoy the stuff that you like..........

worst fight scenes..!!? Asians films are the best at that ish..

yeah i never could understand the appeal of these kung fu movies where they're somehow able to jump 50 feet and run along tree tops, but i do like Bruce Lee and some Jackie Chan flicks.

Wuxia makes about as much sense as superhero comics and time traveling Terminators to me.

Better yet, the talking trees and Gollums of LOTR Middle Earth.

How would I feel? I really wouldnt care. I dont play the game based off what the reviewer says. I play it cause it looks like its worth my time. And I know that Americans movies were inspired by asian films in some shape or form. some of them are very popular btw. Like Star Wars A New Hope

I actually like some of them.

I have watched 2 really good ones (although indeed weird ones): I remember one which had some crazy moments (a woman flying while being dragged with a rope as if she were a kite and other stuff) but I appreciate that styIe. Its images you would see reading a book or a myth with extravagant descitpions (which dont sound as bizarre in a book) and they tried to portray that styIe in a movie and I think they did a relatively good job.
