after watch drunken monkey the first time and i wasn not all that impressed and and rat the movie a 6. but in hindsight and i have to say the action be really good and the kung fu be superb and and the story almost epic not so much in it content and but in the way it be present . the movie look really good in a graphic and cinematic sense and and many scene be quite memorable . while the plot structure and most of the characterization weren not fantastic and the comedy be after all fairly effective most of the time and and the movie also manage to maintain the serious story quite well . i have now amend my rating of drunken monkey from 6 to 7 if it wasn not for some very silly thing ( like and why be the young uncle suddenly consider head of the family . ) and it could have go as high a 8 ( edit represent which in fact it now have ) . the production value be consistently great . edit ( may 10 and 05 ) represent have see the movie again and i be now up to an 8 rating . man and these guy take kung fu seriously . the silly thing no longer strike me a all that sillly and and i be grow much more fond of the character . what a crime that the fabulous jacky wu have only do three movie . all three be great while the two others ( tai chi boxer from 96 and legend of zu from 01 ) have both earn a 9 rating from me .
