It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This movie made me vomit. I hated everything about it and wish I hadn't seen it. No one should ever watch it because it's so bad. I particularly disliked the characters, the storyline, the dialogue, the scene changes, and the stylistic choices. There are many good things about China, kung fu, basketball and humanity; none of them are present in this worthless, pathetic, downright perplexingly awful attempt at cinema. I can't believe that money which could have been spent on literally anything else was instead spent on paying "actors" to make wooden expressions, tell bland jokes, and other trash. I felt nothing for the entirety of the film; not amusement, not passion, not empathy, not interest, just sheer confusion and disappointment in myself for allowing myself to sink to these depths. Also, alcoholism is not a joke. Don't watch this, it's utter filth.

I am a huge basketball fan and anyone who has played and enjoyed the "NBA Street" video game series will be right at home. Now, in order to enjoy this thing, you need to immediately realize that you are not about to watch a best picture nominee. It's a parody. An obvious one at that. Did I have some issues with the film? Sure. It can be little bland in spots and yes Shou can be dry at times, but overall, I enjoyed myself. You watch, and see them do things that are pretty much impossible, but you wish they did them in real NBA games. There could've been more fight scenes (there were only 2) so there isn't a ton of Kung-fu going on, but as a mindless, quick pick, you can't really go wrong here. From some of the reviews i've read, people obviously expected this film to be something it isn't. It isn't a masterpiece, nor does it ever try to be. It simply wants to entertain, and in that aspect, it does so just fine. I'm pretty high-brow myself, but in this case people, just shut up and watch the movie.

Just finished watching the movie and wanted to give my own opinion(and justice) to the movie.First of all, to get things straight, this movie is not pretending to be anything other than a solid action comedy movie. It doesn't aim to revolutionize the movie industry and garner critical acclaims nor does it want to be regarded as one. If you really want to enjoy this movie to the fullest, I suggest you discard your critical-mindedness and your longing for a good plot because you won't find any in here. With that established, let us further into the movie.I had low expectations for this movie simply because it didn't have a strong plot(Yes, moviegoers, I underrated this movie as well), but I never expected myself to enjoy this movie that much. I even enjoyed this more than the Stephen Chow flicks(which I find Kung Fu Hustle to be his best effort and would've rated it a 9 as well). Action is tight and epic while comedy chokes on to the right places.SPOILERS alert, I think The action might be unreal, but why would I want to watch a serious basketball movie anyways? There are a lot other sports movies(drama) that already did it well, why create another? SPOILERS endI'm not even sure why you're reading this. Go ahead and watch it. Just remember, no thinking - just watch, enjoy, smile, laugh, and Every once in a while they(the movie industry) creates masterpieces such as Pulp Fiction or The Godfather movies, and sometimes they create movies which are better off in the pile of dump. I'm not saying Kung Fu Dunk deserves the recognition that the previous examples have, then again, if we're talking about Stephen Chow-ish comedy, this one's a top ten.Highly recommended if you love: -no brainer movies with really good action -Kung Fu -Death Trance -Kung Fu and comedy -what the heck, watch this. you'll have a great time.9/10 for you the cast of Kung Fu Dunk. ^_^

The direction had clearly stated that this film's idea and plot is totally original....however, as to those who have read 'slam dunk' comic, we can clearly see that the characters are very similar and even some jokes...Another note is Jay Chow himself DO NOT know Kung Fu, it just won't impress anyone if he tries to act like he can, many people today can see the differences.. Luckily the movie do not contain much of KunG Fu fighting and much are enchanced by stunners and visual effects...I think that Jay's acting is still a pain to watch, especially when almost everyone else in the film is so much better. The only reason I think why Jay is the main actor is simply is for his popularity.Despite how hard I wish to stop anyone from watching this thus making this "orginal" movie getting what it shouldn't have, it has became one of the best budget films in China for this year.
