dick n Out of 2hours there was probably 15minutes of enjoyment. Will probably have forgotten the entire movie in 2 days. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review carlos t Minha opinião: Este filme é umaparte 2, mas a estória não tem continuidade com o 1º. A não ser o protagonista que Andy. Sua inter pretação neste 2º filme esta melhor. Bem que seu personagem também vive uma estória bem mais profunda. Aqui ele acaba perdendo parte de sua perna esquerda com uma bomba que explodiu. Ai a policia decide coloca-lo para trabalhar na parte interna. Ele não aceita e sai da policia. Com isso ele sofre com sua psiques. E em mais uma explosão acaba perdendo a memoria. Nisso a policia busca confundi-lo para que pense que é um policial infiltrado. Os terrorista estão com o objetivo de explodir bombas nucleares no aeroporto de Hong Kong e assim iniciar uma nova era. E assim Andy trabalha com este pensamento até descobrir a verdade. Mas agora a sua humanidade voltou e ele luta para salvar Hong Kong. Será que ele conseguirá? O filme usa de muito porrada de carros, sem economizar e bastante efeitos especiais ao estilo chinês. Exagerados e que beira mentira. Tem boas cenas de lutas e tiros. Vale apena assistir Roteiro: bom Vale apena assistir? Se você gosta de um filme com exageros, assista. Nota: 6,5 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Starring and produced by award-winning actor Andy Lau (House of Flying Daggers, Infernal Affairs, God of Gamblers), this film finds the actor playing former bomb disposal officer, Poon Shing-Fung. Despite suffering from amnesia and the loss of his leg in an explosion five years ago, he still becomes the top suspect of a terrorist attack called Vendetta and must also evade the police and stop a terrorist group from destroying Hong Kong. That said, this movie is a new story and has nothing to do with the first movie, so you can come in fresh. Directed and written by Herman Yau (the first Shock Wave, Ip Man: The Final Fight), this film debuted at the top of the global box office, grossing $63.9 million in its opening weekend. Beyond Lau, one reason is the action choreography by Li Chung-Chi, the same man who is famous for The Legend of the Drunken Master, Twin Dragons and Rumble in the Bronx. Also known as Shock Wave: Hong Kong Destruction, this movie starts with Hong Kong Airport exploding and only gets more action-packed as it moves to action scene to action scene. Lau is in his sixties but can still get you cheering for his high energy work, much less doing so much of it with just one leg (thanks to some solid CGI). If you miss the old days of Hong Kong action, you may want to give this a try. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review harris r A non-stop action blockbuster production! Director Herman Yau presented one heck of an outstanding production with excellent directing and cinematography. The writing had a few plot and technical issues, and for the most part was predictable. I feel some filler scenes could've been cut down or out to make the 120 min runtime closer to 100, based on the amount of substance in the storyline. The performances were all on point and convincing, and the fights scenes were perfectly choreographed. The V/SFX were actually quite impressive for the most part, with just a few sloppy CGI scenes. I found the score to be a little cheesy and overbearing, especially in the beginning. Otherwise, it was a fun thrill ride, worth seeing if you're into this type of action films. A well deserved 8/10 from me. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review jack h Good movie but BAD awful plot. There is absolutely no way a bomb defuser cannot work when the person is fully capable of doing the job.... The lack of logic ruined good acting from all star roles. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Sequel movie title but has nothing to do with the first episode. Just like the English title: Shock Wave - although in Chinese it stands for "bomb defusing expert" - is deafening and good for a nice Dolby theater with popcorn and coke especially during Chinese New Year. The plot tries to mingle things together of an shock-wave side-effected amnesia policeman being heroic and explaining his love affection while not dropping overly squeezed Hollywood style man-made visual effects. Just like an over-hard baked pie - not too tasty but edible. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
